    Well...there's no time like the past either in times like the present?

  • Shall I say good night or Good morning?! :-)

    Answer: The past is the only way for the present, this present will be the only way for the future.

  • That the past is what got you to the present. Although your past isn't what defines you, it's how you got to where, and who you are. Your past is just important as your future, you just can't change it once it's over, you can't dwell on the mistakes, and hard times along the way, cause it doesn't get you anywhere.

    There is no time like the Present because that effects your future, which inevitably becomes your present, and then becomes your past.

    Your past is just the outcome of what you chose for your future at one point.

    it means that the past can no longer have a crucial effect on ur future. the present is all that matters.

    ur present decisons in the past had given u the moment u r in now. and that is all it does.

    To me it means that the past is finished, it cannot be changed or altered in any way, only reflected upon. The present on the other hand is open to limitless possibilities.

    the past is something that is not as good as the present and we should not buit look forward into the future with open ideas

    ARE YO CONFUSED

  • Simple: the "present" is not static: it is a constantly rolling variable; by the time you say (or write) something, it is already in the PAST.
