About "Time"
The liberated Arahant sees it right and therefore does not cling to the past and the future, even in the present.
A simple example is that we cannot know the past, present, and future at all.
We cannot know what exists. If that thing doesn't become the past, it's like when the eyes see pictures, such as seeing flowers, etc. The mind must accept the emotion (image, color) is finished. The sight you see is in the past. We will know it as a flower, such as a rose, etc.
If not the past, the mind has no way of knowing what it is. Therefore, the present moment is something that we cannot know, feel, or touch because we can't know anything. Without that, it would not change to the past itself. One had to "mental moment" in the past to know what it was. So we can't touch the present.
The time called "future" has not yet come, and the past has passed. We don't get anything, even "now". If anyone sees this, it's called knowing the tense. It is a time in dharma language that cannot be divided into seconds, minutes, months, years, anything; it's a constant stream. Until it can be said that there is no beginning, there is no end.
The so-called "time," no one knows when it began. How many times have you been here? When will it end? How many more eras? How many eras? We can't touch it because it must always be in the past for him to feel in his heart what is what.
Eyes see form, ears hear sound, nose smells, tongue tastes, body touches, or whatever your mind thinks.
Only past "mental moments" can tell what is what. but we can't speak at that moment because it's too fast. Just a little "mind moment" has become a thing of the past. Until it was a "mind moment" that consumed emotions, so it was a thing of the past.
You try to compare who is more stupid or who is smarter?
A person who sees the past, future, and present until a problem arises. There must be suffering as usual.
As for the arhats who are wise enough to have no past, future, and present, as the Buddha said, "Do not take two things to the extreme and do not cling to the middle," that is, "not clinging to the past and the future." The top part is called the past, and the last part is called the future, and not even clinging to the medium, which is "the present."
But ordinary people can't do it. This can't be done. We have to teach each other another way, which is to know how to manage time. That... how was it in the past? How is the future, how is the present, and deal with the present properly? Don't be distracted by the past and the future, but focus on the present. It is something that needs to be done right here, now, and today. Just this, ordinary people can alleviate a lot of suffering.
But if that ordinary person sees the present deeper (profoundly), until there is no more "ordinary," people become noble monks for this reason.
