Do you feel that the past and the future are more interesting than the present?

Question

I do, I feel that the 16th to 19th century were much more interesting time's and that the sci-fi movie looking future's are too. I've had this feeling for so long and I'm really sick of it now which is why I really hope my effort of trying to end it today will pan out. I just can't live like this anymore. Since we can't go back to the past and my dream present in the future is so far away and may never happen.

Answer 1

We cannot know what is in store for us and that is good or we may not have the courage to face it.  We look to the past and the present to understand the future and with a positive and hopeful out look we faced it courageously.

The ones who fail to live in the present have not developed the courage to fight the fight of life. It is in the over coming our struggles where we gain the strength to face the future. But we do not struggle alone we are a child of He who has given us life. `My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction, for whom the Lord loves he corrects, even as the father corrects the son in whom he takes delight.' `The Lord does not afflict willingly.' `Before I was afflicted, I went astray, but now do I keep the law. Affliction was good for me that I might thereby learn the divine statutes.' `I know your sorrows. The eternal God is your refuge, while underneath are the everlasting arms.' `The Lord also is a refuge for the oppressed, a haven of rest in times of trouble.' `The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of affliction; the Lord will not forget the sick.' `As a father shows compassion for his children, so is the Lord compassionate to those who fear him. He knows your body; he remembers that you are dust.' `He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.' `He is the hope of the poor, the strength of the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, and a shadow from the devastating heat.' `He gives power to the faint, and to them who have no might he increases strength.' `A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax he will not quench.' `When you pass through the waters of affliction, I will be with you, and when the rivers of adversity overflow you, I will not forsake you.' `He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and to comfort all who mourn.' `There is correction in suffering; affliction does not spring forth from the dust.'"

Answer 2

ya i do, but i think it is because we are so used to the present. if we will go to the past or future and stay there for a year, we might think that the past and future are boring and want to go to the present, but then we will think the present is boring, and then we think the past and future are boring, and we will have nowhere to go!! But since I am not in the past or future now, i do think the past & future are more interesting then the present!!

Answer 3

i think both are more important than the present it is important to learn from the past and what you do in the present decides where you will be in the future

Answer 4

Do not waste your time on worthless speculation....

The past is dead, bury it....

The future never comes.....

Why waste your time in fruitless endeavors, while time is flying bye..  suffice onto the moment for that is all we ever have...... This moment!

Do not become an "all time loser"!  (I hope you get the pun+ smile.... yes, learn to laugh at yourself and life).  Model yourself after the famous painting The Laughing Cavellier....

Laughing Cavalier

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search



Laughing Cavalier, 1624The Laughing Cavalier (1624) is a famous painting by the Dutch Baroque artist Frans Hals. The current title is a Victorian era invention; the subject does, in fact, sport an enigmatic smile. The composition is lively and spontaneous, and despite the apparent labour involved in the gorgeous silk costume, close inspection reveals long, quick brush strokes.

The portrait is inscribed in the top right "Æ'TA SVÆ 26/A°1624", which expands to "aetatis suae 26, anno 1624" in Latin and means that the portrait was painted when the sitter was 26 and in the year 1624. The identity of the man is unknown; when the painting was acquired in 1865 by Richard Wallace's father it was simply called "Portrait of a Young Man". The painting is in the Wallace Collection in London, England.

The canvas measures 83 × 67.3 cm (32.7 × 26.5 in).

The painting is famous because of the artist's skill at painting the lace of the costume and that the eyes appear to follow the viewer from every angle.

[edit] Trivia

The Laughing Cavalier is used by McEwans beer as its logo. It has been modified showing the Laughing Cavalier enjoying the beer [1]
