Realize the fact: Past and future are not there

Our mind finds it hard to accept the fact that the two tenses other than the present are not there. But the reality is that both past and future are virtual or imaginary. Coming to the point, consider a point of time so that it could be treated as present. Then the previous time period is said to be the past and the coming period to be the future. If you plot a graph with the above statements you could find that the past pushes the present where as the future gets destructed giving way to the present. In such a case where could we plot the present? Is it there no present?
Take an example...
A guy is standing under a coconut tree and another one is at the top of the tree. The one at the top has to pluck the coconuts and put it down. So he asks the one who is beneath him to see if any vehicle comes so that the work shall be stopped for a moment and let the vehicle go making sure that the vehicle does not have any damage while putting the coconuts down. And a vehicle comes and the one underneath informs to stop the work. So, the guy who is at the top stops his work and watches the vehicle to go past from there. After a moment the one underneath asks the person above to restart his work as the vehicle has passed away. The one above looks for the vehicle and he could still find it moving. Actually as he is at a greater height he could find the car moving but it’s not visible to the one underneath. Both men are true to their knowledge. For the one underneath, now the scene (car scene) is past and to the one at the top it’s present. The same thing is viewed differently from the same place at different heights.
When you raise your attitude and vision to greater altitudes you could realize past and future to be virtual/imaginary and it’s only the present that rules/holds everything
