A before, an after.

I heard that from a friend who told me that the present does not exist. he just said to me:

Lanz, you just have to know that the present doesn't exist.

I challenge myself to write something about it, he told me, you must know the great ROLE that time plays in everything.

After thinking about the phrase that my friend told me. A before, an after, I could deduce what he was referring to.
I think that somehow philosophically I found some meaning for him and related it to time, we all know that time marks our lives and we always think about time and we relate it to:

Past, Present, Future.

I made a relationship like this.

Past = Before

Future = After

But what about the present?

Because I'm omitting the present, and right there I stopped to think, the time is so fleeting, that the time of the present is usually two things at the same time there are words that define that been when I say two things happen at the same time one of those words is simultaneously, but I can also use a word that denotes a sound. and it is in unison. at the same time and the same moment.

The present is usually the past, because of how quickly it happens and is usually future, because of how quickly things happen.

I will try to explain: Every minute that passes simply becomes past, but at the same time we are realizing something that is future. It is simply a time loop that is divided into two parts, a before and an after, for this reason I could be a reason for the fleeting present so ephemeral and imperceptible, that we cannot identify in which part we are, and I mean a before or an after.

Time defines everything in our life, it is who sets the tone for what was and will be in our life, we are in that constant change that will always be there for each of us.

My time is everything and I will never know when this time will end.

I guess if you could stop the flow of time, that freezing picture, where everyone sits still, inanimated, that's the present.

It's true, every moment we refer to as 'now' is at least 10-50ms in the past.

So you could even say we live in the future as it flows towards us, but we can only observe it after it has passed such that our senses have apprehended it. That is why there is no 'now'. At best 'now' would be what is taking place only in our brains. Everything else is lagging behind that.
