My favorite bumper sticker (which I think is a Breslov one) is "Present Perfect". Seemingly just the name of a tense in grammar, it can also be understood to mean that the present moment is perfect exactly the way it is. I love that!
Yet if I were making Breslov bumper stickers, I'd probably add a few more tenses:
- "Present Simple": "Don't complicate matters; take each moment as it comes, with temimus and peshitus."
- "Present Continuous": "Life is constantly moving on, so don't get stuck in the past and learn to go with the flow."
Or, using a different name for the same tense:
- "Present Progressive": "You must constantly go from level to level, so check if you're doing it right now."
But my favorite sticker would probably be:
- "Present Perfect Progressive": "When will your life become perfect? - When you learn to constantly advance, to always go from level to level."
When I used to teach English, my favorite subject was grammar. But now I find "Breslov grammar" much more fascinating!
