Only Present exist? Or future and past exist too?

50%
50%

Do you think that only present exists? I have talked to many people and done some research online. Some people say that only present exist, because it is the moment that we are living and it is the moment that we can live in and have access to, and they say that there is no past or future.

The past is just memories in our minds, and it's not really there while future does not yet exist, because we still have to create it so it's not there waiting for us.. it has yet to be created, and the ‘future’ depends on the decisions we make in this moment (present) and it’s not already planned for us.

Personally I am For this, because the past is not there and whatever we do we cannot access it because it does not exist because that moment passed and it’s only memories in our minds, and the future does not exist either because we have to create it (using the present).

So what do you think? Does the future and present exist? Or you agree with me that the only instance that exists is the present, the moment that we are living and ‘creating’.

Only the present exists, the future has yet to happen, and the past has been and gone.

Yes ..I agree
Only present exist as we can't change past & can't predict future with perfection..so they don't exist for me

I agree with you. I don't believe time is on a plane that is accessible at any point except for the here and now.

I have such a short memory that this response doesn't exist and therefore maybe I should be against it.

However, as I write this I am for it, but once I hit the submit button this really doesn't count.

Jordan... now I'm really in a stuck spot (in the present) because I can only vote once. Oh well.

:D

In all seriousness though, I can clearly see that I entered this now and will have to go vote against it since this new website has documented it so accurately and proves that the past exists.

However, if QuestionBin.com goes away I guess I'd be for it again. ;)

I think that any point in time is accessible but we haven't found out how to access it.

well, in my opinion we are doing clock-work; everything is calculated like 2+2=4; we work because we need money, we need money because we get hungry and want to eat, we eat to live , we live because we have to
we have no decisions or options to take.....nothing is free, nothing exists

I believe that we are part of some kind of space/time continuum. It's just that we haven't learned how to access time, yet.

Just the present exists, the past existed.
