That's exactly what there is, since we can't count with the past, and the future never arrives!. However, if you cut the slice too thin, even present will cease to exist, because the future is constantly becoming past, and both ceasing to be in the process!.
In absolute terms, none of the three exists, what makes time non-existent!. Therefore, we are just living a dot of a pause in eternity!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Past, Present and future!.

the only of the three that really exist is the past, for one can say they are in the present, but in reality the moment they have said it they have already passed into the past!. They can only conjure up the future for we can not walk into the doorway of time forwards!. There truly is just the fleeting present for the past is the whole!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the 'present' is the easiest thing to prove its existence!

take a hammer and smash it in between your eyes as hard as you can!. if you black out, it means that you hit yourself too hard!. try not to do that!.

when you hit yourself in between the eyes, that blinding pain you feel is the present!.

the great thing is that you will absolutely remember the pain, which represents the past and definitely it will hurt for quite some time which is a great indicator of the future!.

anytime you feel the need to question if "the present" exists, repeat the hammer procedure as necessary!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, but it really depends on your own calculation of past, present and the future!. Everyone have different concept on this matter!.

ie, 'present' can be considered as a second to some, millisecond to the other, etc!.

Technically 'present' does exist, we only think its non-existent because future seems more dominant to us!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

only the present exists!. the past is a thought, a memory, the future is a hope, a projeciton!. the only thing that truly exists is the now!. you cannot jump from here and now to yesterday, nor to tomorrow, the mirror only shows you how you look today, not how you looked yesterday or will look tomorrow!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This "present moment" is the only time that does exist!.

The past is no longer here unless you choose to drag some vestige of it along with you as an anchor which drags one down into the psychic sea so to drown!.

Tomorrow never arrives!.

When else is there but "Now"!?

Are you living now or not living at all!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

And for some added questions!.!.!.

What does it consist of!?
Are the past and future a PART of the present!?
How long is the present!? How long is a moment!?
Are you always present in the present!?

etc etc etc!.!.!. and so on and on!.!.!. ad infinitum!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Present is the only that actually exist!. Neither past nor future are real, just images in our mind!. The only real moment is the ever present now!.
Read Krishnamurti if you want to go deeper in this subject!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Surely the present is all that exists, the past existed, but no longer is, and the future is yet to be and so doesn't exist yet!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The present is the day we are living!.
But every second that passes by, is already the past!.
I think that is so interesting!.!.!.
That's why we have to live life to the fullest
and not miss a second :]Www@QuestionHome@Com

it 'feels' like the only thing that is constant in 'existence' but as a symbol it is nothing!. It can't be touched or described!. It can only BE just as we as one collective awake watcher continuously BE!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The present is the only thing that does exist!. The past is gone and the future is yet to be!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There is only the present moment, time is merely an illusion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

But the future doesn't instantly become the past!. It must be the present, but for how long!?

Meditate on this, I shall!. !.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Presents, maybe!. Lives are composed of inummerable presents!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It depends the mind does not know what is real and what is imaged!. We have no way of knowing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, in fact I believe that time itself doesn't really exsist!. Time's a man-made creation in a way!. It's all an illusion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The present is elusive!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

all the timeWww@QuestionHome@Com

No because time is always moving on!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
