Present evidence is information from what is happening now, gathered without requiring the past to disappear first.
A resemblance can be real and still not be the whole scene. Who is here? What has actually happened? What choices, resources or boundaries exist now that did not exist then?
They Said Time Would… uses the present not to argue with memory, but to give the current moment a fair hearing.
Different from: positive thinking. Present evidence may confirm a concern. Its task is accuracy, not reassurance.
