ow is now’ and;‘I am I.’ Both are meaningless repetitions.

the statement, ‘now is now’ is no more able to communicate a meaningful truth than the statement, ‘I am I.’ Both are meaningless repetitions.

 I can see or grasp the reality of now and the reality of I, but I cannot say it. 

One important difference, however, between ‘now is now’ and ‘I am I’ is that the same now is uniquely real for all of us, whereas I am uniquely real only for myself.

 So one cannot say that now has a purely subjective reality, for if it did each of us would be living in a different now. What, therefore, can now be if it is neither purely objective nor purely subjective?
