Full Idea
We cannot say that the whole of the current year is present, and if the whole of it is not present, the year is not present.
Gist of Idea
The whole of the current year is not present, so how can it exist?

A Reaction
Another nice way of presenting the paradox of time. We are in a particular year, so it has to be real.
