Past Present Future - Part II

(Continued from Part - I)
The British calendar or the English calendar, as many people call it, is based on the movement of the sun. Today we know that the sun does not move, instead it is the earth that revolves around the sun.                                                                      
But the calculation of time is based on the past belief, though erroneous. The facts that were agreed upon by the majority of the civil society at that time have proven to be far from reality by the present technological interpretations. Thus the concepts, faiths, beliefs that were recognized as truth in the past, no longer prevail in the present times. But the present has not rejected all the findings of the past. Many of them are still practiced and preached in the present society.
There is a very thin line of differentiation amongst the positions of time, viz. Past-Present and future. It is so thin that as I am writing these words, the word that I was wanting to write was in the future only till the time it was in my mind. But the moment it is in the present time only till the time it is being written on the paper. The moment it is printed or written it becomes a content of past. There is a  very thin demarcation amongst these three phases of time. In terms of imagination by the human mind, it is in the future time only till when you have not imagined it. But the fraction of a moment in which it is being imagined it comes to the present. The moment the imagination is complete, it becomes a part of the past.
