Great play on words here David, the past can be edited all different ways and you didn't realise you are enjoying the present til it's past (and you forgot bits) and you think you'll enjoy the future and it's entirely forgettable. Just left with mysterious pockets of past that feel the most real

Ha! I remember writing this one, and now I’m scratching my head thinking, did I send it into the future so you could read it at exactly this present time, which is now in fact the past, I do love your comprehensive interpretation, hey captcha (DKA) contains my initials, see what happens when you mess around with Time Travel on your POTD day, you’ve created temporal paradoxes all over the soup lol! Cheers David

Indeed, David, the past is more comfy and familiar. Because we feel emotions from the past more intensely than feelings from the present, fears win out in the end. What a fantastic Monoku with awareness and understanding.

Thank you Lasaad, your on the money, see my comment to Gershon, whilst it’s right to stock up for our future, I’m not so sure about stocking up our present and past problems as well, but that’s humanity for you, cheers David

Fear wins out, methinks. The past is more comfortable and comforting... Visionary write, David. ~ gw

Thanks Gershon, Unfortunately the past is more comfortable to deal with, the one thing we can change is the future, we tend to kick it further into the future, until it lands back at the present, then all hell let’s loose, cheers David
