Our past is an assortment of joyous, rough, memorable, and learning experiences. In contrast, our future lies in the prospect of imagination.
Imagination is an inspiring concept that is natural foresight in an individual’s life and society.
Civilizations have been created, nourished, and developed on our ability to contemplate the future.
No doubt, anxieties, worries or concerns often become parts of our contemplation, but so do dreams. In this package, destiny is created thru our forward-looking karmas of the present, which influence our future.
Progress comes by prospecting in the future.
Flights to the future with optimistic imaginations are the thrills and promises of the prospective unknown.
Prospecting is natural. It is a functional activity of our cognitive powers. Sighting the future is both a conscious and unconscious activity. We can’t stop it while realizing, dealing with, or playing with the moments of the present.
In these moments, our moods also swing like a pendulum, moving back and forth from past to future while creating new flashes for the present.
Sometimes, journeys to the past contribute to the pleasures of the present.
Past is a treasure like an old photo album.
It is an asset and a companion. Ask the person lying on a hospital bed for a long time. Or when a fatal blow to the past happens to a person with dementia. Moments of the present do not offer a “gift” here.
Moreover, the past is not merely history but also a heritage for society. The identity of a society is based on its culture.
Past, present, and future complement each other with indelible events, experiences, karmas, and imaginations.
Managing the future involves gathering and distilling the correct information from the archives of the past within the present period.
Time does not cover the innate past or cause a pause in our imaginations for the future. It does not flow like a river. It does not fly, either. Time instead spreads out. In this spread, past, present and future reside forever.
Our mind prepares us for stopovers at our memories, sojourns us to conceive our imaginations, and brings us back to the present.
And life’s journey continues while sailing through our past, present, and future.

It is an interesting blog.
Time is an eternity. It is omnipresent.
When we relate time with happenings, it becomes past, present and future. Otherwise, time is timeless. It cannot be fathomed, measured or divided. For our convenience we have divided time. When we add ‘the’ before time, it becomes specific. Otherwise, time is non-specific. It is ‘Akal’. It does not take birth . It dies not. Time is in usage as a Verb and also as a Noun. The past is memory, future a dream and the present is existential.
“ Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has yet to come. We have only now. Let us live.”

Superbly expressed the time factor and its relativity with happenings to get its value. Thanks.
