You're lost in abstraction, Letum. Where others have too less in their head, you have far too much. You have too much thinking on your mind. That way, reason got lost. You're disconnected. Get back to your senses.

Regarding the past, "past" describes what once has been, but is no more. That truth is a bit too profane to make a huge fuss of it. Events of the past affected people, and mattered for them, and sometimes they still matter today. And no matter wether past or present: for every individual surviving or dying in desaster, it obviously made or makes a difference. the surviving wild goats are alive and did not get killed. without doubt they are better off than the wild goats that got killed, but could have lived on if not having died. Another profanity, isn't it. the farmer is just another entity, calculating the costs and the profits of events as he take note of them.

the genocide in darfhur still takes place in the present. Some revenge-massacre by the SS in some Italian village took place in the past. Both do not directly affect me. But still, it is valid to say that the genocide in present Darfhur represents a greater massacre or crime than the the past massmurder in that Italian village. Becasue in Darfhur, over one million people got killed so far, and in that Italian village let'S say 280.

Keep it simple.
