The thought is a result of the past which uses the present as a passage to the future


The mind is a result of the past, which is based on time and its images.

Without the past there is no thought. 

But the thought, which is a result of the past, can't understand the present, since it only uses the present as a passage to the future.

The future is in this way always a becoming.

As Pascal claims, then the present is therefore never seized, though the understanding exclusively is lying herein.

The relationship is a mirror in which you can discover yourself


The relationship is a mirror in which you can see yourself.

This mirror can either distort or expose the truth about yourself.

Most of us use in the relationship, in the mirror, what we preferably want to see, but we don´t see what is real.

We like to condemn, justify, compare, or escape, and rather live in the past or the future, than to to see the relations in which we are in the moment.

In this way the present is, as the philosopher Blaise Pascal said, only becomes used by the past as a passage to the future, and therefore the relationship - which is something that is in the moment, and not in the past or the future - becomes meaningless, wherefore there arises unreality and absence.
