A Play on Tenses
Can the past ever stay in the past?
The answer is... never.
Why is that?
precisely 'coz the past helped you get to where you are now, the present.
can you erase the past?
sure, if you go through that whole 'ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND' procedure...
but that ain't possible.
can the past stay in the past?
answer is never.
can a bitter past stay in the past?
answer is... possible - for in order to progress, sometimes man needs to forget. and of course bitter pasts come with light bulb realizations where you learn from mistakes, and try not to make them again.
can an annoying past stay in the past?
that is beyond our control.
What's my favorite tense?
The future.
Is the future possible?
Of course. A dream is wish that the heart makes.
Is the future probable?
With this 'End of the World' fiasco, it might not be.
Is it bad to keep dreaming if the future isn't probable?
Of course not! Man has gotta dream and have a point to which he treads.
Is my present ok?
Yep.
Is my present better than my past?
No. it lacks a proponent that i dreamt would be in my future.
Will my present ever be better than my past?
I don't think so, but a new future may just be as splendid as the future I had always wanted.
Is it worth it to continue living the present?
Of course, even if the future is improbable.
