You are already a thing in the past when you hear this. What decision did you make at that moment? The way you look now is what you’ve set by yourself in the past, which may continue until you make another decision.
The future that goes on still becomes your past, and all of these things only exist when you decide. Time is not only a human’s abstract idea and does not exist. Also if it exists within human conceptions, to prove that it exists is impossible as long as it is maintained.
You, who are quick-witted at this point, may have figured out the answer. Remember we are all already connected and you only exist when you decide.
