So let's take another look at that.
Say 'now and now and now', and at each 'now' the planet has moved eighteen and a half miles along its run around the sun, the sun has moved, if my mental arithmetic of galactic rotation is anything to go by, about two hundred miles on its orbit within the galaxy, and the galaxy has shifted quite a way towards its appointment with Andromeda and God-alone-knows-how-far from a point in yonder direction from where we all appear to be coming. Well, that is what 'being alive' is; we have senses motivated by our living metabolisms, which give us this impression of 'time' (which does not exist) and, consequently, of Universe 'in action', which otherwise we would not have. Without this illusion of time, it may be seen that all Universe is still here, but without the factor of activity.
Now, evidently, as experience shows us, 'yesterday' was merely the inscrutable future of the day before, and 'tomorrow' is simply the obvious 'old hat' of the day after. We can even physically see that things of 'the past' are still here, one and a half light-seconds away in the moon, eight light-minutes off in the sun, four and a half light-years away in the next-nearest visible star, twenty-five-thousand-odd light-years away in the centre of the galaxy, and three million or so light-years distant in Andromeda. The things of 'the future' are also here, but we and our little senses, being exclusively limited just to our progress in our little span, are not sufficiently advanced in space to experience them, though, once again, we can glimpse the near future of the past in recent events. Our 'being' is not separately 'put here' but is inextricably part and parcel of the process of expansion towards the state of complete Universe, past, present, future, all; that already is what Universe is. I am just mentioning this.
So we, alive or dead, good, bad or indifferent, are all inextricably an integral part of it. Those arrogant 'Few' who, via their agents and the aid of our venal chameleon political 'leaders' whom, with malice aforethought, they pay with their little mirage of 'finance', have taken the planet in just two centuries, and now think they 'own' it. However, enough is enough. In their ongoing grubby felonies of wars and impoverishment of the rest of us, with whole populations deliberately displaced to temporarily more stable countries, these gangsters should take care lest they risk our reaction, which will not be pretty. I am just mentioning this, too.
