But we should not give strict definitions to these divisions. We call the time in which we live as the present and the time, which we have lived as the past, and the time in which we are going to live as the future. As we live in the time, we realize that the various events happen one after the other. The early Greeks and the Hindus were having an opinion that time was like a wheel. This argument projects two ideas about time.
Time is meaningless.
That is, if the wheel of time operates like a machine, the events will happen with unfailing regularity. As the appropriate time comes, it will generate events on its own and at a particular point of time the same events shall reoccur. This means that events happen by the volition of time alone unfluenced by anyone's will, control or promise. This idea is baseless. In the Bible the Jews determined time by the events that occured.
