Some people only live for the presents, they're called gold-diggers.

Is the past in which we imagine ourselves as we age
the same past that we thought was the past before?

So does the past exist?
Or are we just imagining it?

It is what it is was.
Come to think of the past, it was what it was.
For something to exist, it must be in the present.
The past cannot exist in the present, because it's over.
And if it did exist in the present, it would no longer be the past.

Then nothing truly exists. Because the present is ultimately ephemeral. |

I do not agree with that. The present is really all that matters. How we react to the present is often based on the past. Evolution, experience, instinct, etc., all are based on past events. I would agree however that the present is transitory. Hence the kernel of truth behind the quotation, "Life is an illusion".
For example, my left hand is cold. I put in on the back on my right hand, and I can feel the cold on my right hand. Then I rub my hands together. The cold parts are less cold. Is it that the cold goes away, or the warmth getting created? Is it all an illusion?

By the time you perceive the sensation, what you are sensing (and interpreting) is already in the past. Everything you perceive through any sense is "what is in the past" because of the time it takes to register the sense and interpret it. |
