The past is our foundation, the bedrock that allows a stable society to exist, it is here that we can see our Heroes, those who have done great and noble deeds and thoughts. In our past we see our failures and our enemies, our victories and our defeats. The past allows the people of the present and the future to learn without having to endure. We can see how others coped, we can see that others survived hard times. The past gives us courage and it protects us. Not only can we see the sacrifices that have been made for us by those in the past but we can use that to protect ourselves now and in the future. It is a gift that our ancestors bestowed upon us, a great gift.

The present is the here and now, the place where we live in time, but the present is a constantly moving place. It is the place we live in, and it is the most unstable of all. It never stops moving but our entire life is lived in the present. We all have a past but we do not live in it, our past is past. But it continues to affect us at all times. We do not live in the past, nor do we live in the future, but the present is the most fleeting of all. However the present is just as important as the past or the future, for without it the past was for nothing, and the future will never arrive. Our present will someday soon be our past…
