We need to look deeply at what the human body and mind is, and try and experience the reality, for it is only in experiencing the moment that we are wholly real. Most of us are born like a clear mirror, reflecting back whatever is placed before us.

As life goes on we become clouded and even cracked to the point that reality is no longer able to be seen and perceived.

The past because we are always trying to understand events after they happen, and the future because we live by our desires, hopes, and fears. It is rare to feel the moment for what it really is.
