If the past is a reflection of tommorrow...

...is the future a shadow of yesterday?

 

'the' future is a series of conditions resaulting from our actions today (AND yesterday). today WAS yesterday's tommarrow.

we live now, in the world yesterday created, creating the one we will enter each next instant.

.../\...

 

The past is the shadow and the future the reflection.

 

I don't think my past is a reflection of tomorrow. It has made me who I am, but all is said and done.

 

I got lost in the translation and now my mind hurts.

 

I completely disagree.

 

well, IF the past is a reflection of tomorrow, then i obviously have no understanding of time or english so i have no choice but to assume that the future is in fact a shadow of yesterday

 

Well said!

If my past was a reflection of my tomorrow - I'd just go ahead and shoot myself. : P

My past does not define me. I choose who I am today.

 

exactly.

 

I don't think the past is a reflection of tomorrow. You can choose how it is and how it all ends

 

[Lord Quasimoto]
Today is the shadow of tomorrow
Today is the present future of yesterday
Yesterday is the shadow of today
The darkness of the past is yesterday
And the light of the past is yesterday
The days of yesterday are all numbered in sum
In the world once
Because once upon a time there was a yesterday
Yesterday belongs to the dead
Because the dead belongs to the past
The past is yesterday
Today is the preview of tomorrow but for me
Only for my better and happier point of view
My point of view is the thought of a better or try
Reality is today of eternity
The eternity of yesterday is dead
Yesterday is as one
The eternity of one is the eternity of the past
The past is once upon a time
Once upon a time is past
The past is yesterday today
The past is yesterday today
While we're searchin for tomorrow

[Madlib]
The light of the past is the light which was
The wisdom of the past is the light of the past
The light of the future is the light which is to be
The wisdom of the future is the light of the future see
Yesterday belongs to the dead
Tomorrow belongs to the living
The past is certified as a finished product
Anything which has ended is finished
That which is perfect is finished
The perfect man is no exception to the rule
The perfect man of the past is made according to the rule of the past
The rule of the past is a law of injustice and hypocrisy
The revelation of the meaning of the law is revealed through the law itself
The wisdom of the past is the light of the past
The light which is to be the wisdom of the future
The light of the future casts the shadows of tomorrow

 

This thread immediately made me think of that song

 

Yes. And the most interesting question I've happened upon in a while, even though it be metaphorical. And probably amphibolous, and so actually... No.

In this rare case I mean both Yes and No are true.

I like it! I like that a crazy lot. My hat's off to you.

Suddenly I'm compelled to rush to the guitar, plug in, and try to turn that into a song... not for commercial or public use, of course, I'm merely a student in the music world. But this is gonna be fun...

PS- I've never heard that song, but with arbitrary word substitutions, there's a wealth of lyrics there and I shall harvest greedily.
