Equally, we require a collective past - hence the endless reinterpretations of history, frequently to suit the perceptions of the present.
How you present yourself is nobody's business but your own. The stylists have an opinion. The hair people have an opinion. The fans and the management have opinions. Ultimately, you have to trust that you are the safe-keeper of yourself.
The future is much like the present, only longer.

I'm having this conversation with you now. I'm talking, but I'm thinking, feeling, smelling, and moving. Yet I'm concentrating on what you're saying. So that means there's more things going on in the body than just the present thing that the person's got you doing.
I have no regrets. I wanted to raise the kids and be a present father. When I developed a movie, I was gone for a year. That didn't really work for me. That isn't fair to make these life-forms and then disappear.
Our specious present as such is very short. We do, however, experience passing events; part of the process of the passage of events is directly there in our experience, including some of the past and some of the future.

The problem with the future is that it keeps turning into the present.
The objects of the present life fill the human eye with a false magnification because of their immediacy.
Most people don't really like to pose. It is difficult to get them to be present and relaxed under this kind of molecular scrutiny.

We see past time in a telescope and present time in a microscope. Hence the apparent enormities of the present.

The work of art shows people new directions and thinks of the future. The house thinks of the present.

We are living in a computer-programmed reality, and the only clue we have to it is when some variable is changed, and some alteration in reality occurs. We have the overwhelming impression that we were reliving the present - deja vu.
All my career, I've said this: Critics and producers think audiences want actors that only present the silhouette and hit the points in the silhouette. What I do is too dangerous.
Create an atmosphere for the Spirit. The Spirit must be present.
A society that does not correctly interpret and appreciate its past cannot understand its present fortunes and adversities and can be caught unawares in a fast changing world.
