Point 1
What exists?
Does yesterday exist now?
Does tomorrow exist now?
Of course, not.
Our thoughts of yesterday may exist now if we are now thinking of yesterday.
Our thoughts of tomorrow may exist now if we are now thinking of tomorrow.
But neither yesterday nor tomorrow exists.
What about the moment a second ago when you started reading this blog? What about a moment from now when you will have finished reading this blog? Do these moments exist?
Of course, not.
Our thoughts of these moments may exist if we are now thinking of them…
What exists now but now?!
