The truth is no one can find the present. The moment you recognised something you thought is the present, that is already the past. To live in the present is fooling yourself. We must live towards what we believe is a better future, and forget our past and our most recent past which is the closest we can get to the present.
Second, there is no good or evil. Good is not good, and evil is not evil. That's Yin Yang. Yin and Yang are interrelated, interdependent, intertwined, inseparable and necessary parts of the whole, like the null set of any set. Thinking something or someone is good or evil, and seeking the good and killing the evil is the source of all suffering. So, don't try to be good and don't try to be evil because both of these are meaningless.
Human lives are short. So every suffering is short and immaterial in the grand scale of reality. Live according to your desires and enjoy every moment of your life. Don't worry, be happy.
One positive word of advice for my friends : what happens must happen, it's inevitable.
May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.
