My issue with living in the present is that no matter what happens it should feel normal. Auschwitz would feel normal without a yesterday to say that it isn't. Living in the moment makes the situation more easy to deal with at the expense of any ability to change the situation. If there was no time then everything is permitted. Every day a new normal even if it was horrendous.
This is deep. Even deeper is that there is only 'now' while all things are happening simultaneously. We are not our memories. They are just ideas floating in consciousness. While stuck in this illusion of time it is a difficult to understand the 'now' moment which doesn't really happen either.
Science has proven that one's mind and body are already reacting .03 seconds before we are aware of any event, so we are actually always chasing now in our awareness, a place we can never arrive at. 'Now' is always the past as we observe events but it is as close as we'll get.

There can only really be the time just after now. If there was such a time as now, everthing would be stationary, the arrows' flight would be halted.

Succinct, that.
It also sheds light on reality aka infinity and simultaneity. Time is an entropic consciousness event where chaos is born of order and vice versa, so the arrow(s) continues to fly. There's an ethereal polarity of magnetism at work metaphysically, though I'd be hard pressed to explain it further.

This is the biggest lie ever fed to the human race. It is pure hearsay with no supporting evidense what-so-ever. It seems since it's written in the "holy book" it must be true and nobody out of fear would dare question it.
Now I would like to offer some facts relating to the alleged crucifixion of Christ. It is claimed that this one time carpenter/prophet hauled the very cross he was to be hung from, all the way to the top of Calvary hill or mountain. In all the pictures I've ever seen of the crucifixion the cross appeared to be rough hewn wood of about 6-8" square. The length of the crossbar had to be at a minimum 6 feet long to allow material for the nails or rope to tie the wrists whichever was done. We have no idea what kind of wood the cross was made from but being conservative to the maximum extreme let's assume it was made of the lightest wood available at the time in the area where this supposedly took place, namely Cedar. This would mean the crossbar weighed about 34 lbs. The vertical mast extended about a foot above the crossbar and the feet of Christ was shone to be about 4 feet above the ground. The vertical mast of the cross couldn't have merely sat on top of the ground because it would have simply fell over. Therefore it had to be set into a hole in the ground at least 2 1/2 feet to keep it upright. This would mean the length of the vertical post had to be a minimum of 13 feet. Assuming it had the same cross section as the crossbar and made from the same type of wood, it would have weighed 72 lbs. For a total of 106 lbs at the very minimum. If it was Pine, which is much more likely because Cedar, being very scarce, wouldn't have been wasted by turning it into a cross to hang criminals, it would have weighed 125 lbs. Now, is it possible for a thin man who probably hasn't done manual labor for years other than preaching, in the heat of the middle east, to haul a 106 to 125 lb wooden cross up a big hill wearing a long robe and sandals? But, What the hell, anybody who believes they're gonna come back to life after they drop dead will believe anything. This tall tail should rightly be called the Cruci Fiction.
Nice Chatilion Biggest lie "Your Vote Counts and if you don't vote your a worthless piece of crap" Unions make a benefit to your employment. Another big farce close to jesus but not quite. Another Big Business does not interfere with the goverment in any way. Gasoline is just as good as it's always been and there is hardly any ethenol in it. I mean hardly any.
