The Cycle of Time

Once, the Past, the Present, and the Future gathered and began to argue about which of them was more important.

"The present is the future of the past," said the Present.

"And the past is the future of the present and the future," the Past retorted.

A path twisted into a giant figure eight across a plain at dusk: at the crossing point an old man with a scroll, a man in a beam of light and a translucent figure of mist argue, while the calm face of an ancient old man looks down on them from the sky.
The Past, the Present and the Future argue, and Time just smiles.

"I am always ahead!" the Future declared proudly. "What's to come is mine."

"And I am the connecting link!" the Present objected. "Without me, neither of you exists."

The Past spoke last:

"The Present is fleeting; it passes. The Future is uncertain; it is always in question. But I will always be remembered."

Meanwhile, Time joined them. After listening to everyone and smirking, Time solemnly declared:

"And I am eternal. I always was, am, and will be. And the three of you are just me, at different times."
