Some people say; THE PAST help to adjust THE PRESENT and we really live each day;but thinking in THE FUTURE

Do you agree with all this??

Yes most people think in the future...but does it make sense to say the present is acutally the future...coz each second that goes by we a lil step into the future

Well, it gets a bit philosophical .. but we have a saying -- Living without remembering the past means living without a future.

A moment would imply that you are talking about a fixed point were as your past is trailing off behind you, your future is rapidly closing in upon you and your present is an ever changing fluid point.

I think I like the way Oogway (Kung Fu Panda) put it when he said "The past is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift which is why it's called the present." Never let what has been or what could be shape your life, just be the best person you can be in the moment.

Nope. And "sort of."

The past has two parts to it: what actually happened, and what we THINK happened. Both contribute to what the present seems to consist of. Nothing that has no "past" to it, can exist in the present.

At the same time, most people have an imagined future in their heads, and what they imagine also affects their present.

It's pretty common for people to at least periodically lose the right balance between taking the possible futures into consideration, and overthinking themselves into either panic, or immobility.

3 moments in life

Birth, regret, death?

Yes. I agree that some people say that.

Otherwise it seems you're saying "the past influences present choices leading to decisions which people make according to desired future outcomes."

I would agree with that.

The past adjusts our future. The present adjusts our past and our future. The future is merely a dream-state in our minds.

The thing we should all strive for is living in the now, remembering the past to change our future, which eventually becomes the present, which means the most important part in life is the present, not the past or the future since both clash in the present.
