Do you live in your past, the present or the future? (90)
mollybaby: Molly past would have been nervous of the water
Molly present accepts the challenge of the lapping
Molly future may even embrace it..

So Molly Past is telling Molly Present two things: to be nervous of the water, but that challenges may be overcome and maybe even enjoyed by Molly Future?
Perhaps Molly Present might stop listening to Molly Past and talking to Molly Future for a moment and simply experience the water's touch. How does it feel to Molly Present?

It is comfortably warm.
Luckily I visualised the Mediterranean rather than the North Atlantic!

Aaah, you see that's Molly Past sticking her nose in again with previously learned information about the Mediterranean (I'm glad you can spell that...) and the North Atlantic.
But without Molly Past and Molly Future, what have we got? Does Molly Present exist even for a nanosecond before becoming Molly Past? Or becoming Molly Future?

Actually, the warmest water I was ever in, apart from the Caribbean, was in Mumbles, believe it or nit!
As for Molly present, she is always in existence. .always..

Aaah, that's an interesting point.
How about Molly Past and Molly Future? Aren't they too always in existence?

Yeah, I got nits there
There are dark shadows of Molly Past and golden rays of Molly future
Dreamcatcher99: Worry not, I got a big net
You'll still never catch the future, the past doesn't exist and the future is an illusion, all you have is right now.

Jac Past tells me when Jac present looks at an interesting landscape, she will see cool shadows under trees, dark shadows in inaccessible caves, warmth and golden rays out in the open...all sorts of colours, textures, temperatures and light densities.
Each bit of the landscape has its own properties and may be experienced. The landscape is different without it's variance.
So it is with Jac Past, Jac Present and Jac Future. The landscape of Jac would be different without it's variance. Jac Present is a fine place to be, but the interaction of the properties of Jac Past, Jac Present and Jac Future is fine, too...and perhaps necessary for existence.

If the past does not exist, then your fridge is empty.

As long as one doesn't dwell in the dark caves of the past, and hope for mythical caves in the future.

You did the grocery shopping in the then-present
mollybaby: You did the grocery shopping in the then-present
But it's the now past, so it no longer exists.
---poof---

The past is just made up of lots of then-presents

Without stepping into the dark caves of the past, how will we know which caves are mythical in the future?
May we truly experience golden rays if everything is golden rays?

Every time I look in the fridge, it's always in the now, and you're right...it is empty...
mollybaby: The past is just made up of lots of then-presents
Were they ever presents at all, or always pasts?

Past is just a made-up mame for then-presents.
Easier to say

That's because Bodey isn't stupid.
While you're in a permanent present, he's working out the future fridge raid knowing that once he's done it, he can't be scolded for something which doesn't exist.
In response to: I believe that our past is there to learn from and not to live in. We should help those who dwell too much on their past to not lose sight of the present, and help them to understand how to enjoy every day without taking it for granted. For the visionaries like myself, we look so far into the future that it compels us to strive harder to turn our dreams and aspirations into reality. Me personally, I want to help advance technology to make it more useful and accessible to all people and better their lives.
past is a history, i live more in reality..

Then-presents are in the past, so therefore don't exist.

They did exist at the time though, in the then-present, so we have memories of them.

"Permanent present" I like that...
The past is just memories, a collection of thoughts, the future also can only be thoughts. The present moment is the only time you experience anything, the only time you can live.

I am experiencing tiredness in my present
Aaa25: but if u live in reality..people will say thinking about past is just a waste of time, you cant bring the memories back no matter what...
You cannot re-live them, but you can reflect on them, learn from them, even enjoy them

I think, therefore I am not...?
jac_the_gripper: I think, therefore I am not...?
Do the thoughts you had ten minutes ago still exist?
