"現在と過去の時間は、どちらも未来の時間に存在している可能性があり、未来の時間は過去の時間に含まれている。"

T. S. Eliot

Simplified Meaning:

The quote is saying that the past, present, and future are all connected. Imagine reading a book: earlier chapters (the past) help you understand the current chapter (the present), and knowing the story so far helps you guess what might happen next (the future). In life, your past experiences shape who you are today and influence your future decisions. For example, if you learned to play an instrument as a child (past), you might enjoy playing music now (present) and even consider joining a band later (future). Understanding this connection can help you make better choices by reflecting on your past and considering how it affects your future plans.
