Once both of them had finished there was a short pause, each reflective and absorbed with his own thoughts. ONCE BOTH OF THEM HAD FINISHED THERE WAS A SHORT PAUSE EACH REFLECTIVE AND ABSORBED WITH HIS OWN THOUGHTS
 yesterday or a thousand years ago looks the same, for it is past, it is no more. Life is not short, but in retrospect it seems to be, and its memories are distant, as they float like fish in the oceans of time, lacking both definition and scale, and hanging lifelessly around in random arrays. Every moment is of the same length, but a moment in the past is nothing, its thoughts and emotions are nothing, they are gone and useless to the present, while a moment in the future is long and touchable. A thought that is past is as nothing, and it is forgotten, for the past and the future are like a one-way mirror, you can look forward into the future, but looking into the past you can see only the present reflected back at you. What good are the joys or sorrows of yesterday? They are as far removed as those of a thousand years ago, but it is the joys and sorrows of tomorrow that loom the largest. Why look into the past for completion, when it is found only in the future?" Thus spoke the King. AD OF MEMORIES AND A TIME YESTERDAY OR A THOUSAND YEARS AGO LOOKS THE SAME FOR IT IS PAST IT IS NO MORE LIFE IS NOT SHORT BUT IN RETROSPECT IT SEEMS TO BE AND HIS MEMORIES ARE DISTANT AS THEY FLOAT LIKE FISH IN THE OCEANS OF TIME LACKING BOTH DEFINITION AND SCALE AND HANGING LIFELESSLY AROUND IN RANDOM ARRAYS EVERY MOMENT IS OF THE SAME LENGTH BUT A MOMENT IN THE PAST IS NOTHING ITS THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS ARE NOTHING THEY ARE GONE AND USELESS TO THE PRESENT WHILE A MOMENT IN THE FUTURE IS LONG AND TOUCHABLE A THOUGHT THAT IS PAST IS AS NOTHING AND IT IS FORGOTTEN FOR THE PAST AND THE FUTURE ARE LIKE A ONE WAY MIRROR YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD INTO THE FUTURE BUT LOOKING INTO THE PAST YOU CAN SEE ONLY THE PRESENT REFLECTED BACK AT YOU WHAT GOOD ARE THE JOYS OR SORROWS OF YESTERDAY THEY ARE AS FAR REMOVED AS THOSE OF A THOUSAND YEARS AGO BUT IT IS THE JOYS AND SORROWS OF TO MORROW THAT LOOM THE LARGEST WHY LOOK INTO THE PAST FOR COMPLETION WHEN IT IS FOUND ONLY IN THE FUTURE THUS SPOKE THE KING
