Well, things happened in the past, and things will probably happen in the future (and I hope I'm around for them), but the past and the future do not exist, except as thoughts.
I don't deny that things have happened or that I hope and anticipate things happening later. But the past and the future are pure fantasy -- they are nothing but thought.
