How does the past, present, and future lead us to the truth?

I have considered how the past, present, and future lead us to the truth and what I have concluded is that the past, present and future does not lead us to the truth. What leads us to the truth is question and curiosity. The past, present, and future are merely when the events occur and not how or why it occurs. If there was a lie that nobody questioned, it would still be considered a "truth". I would have an example but it would have to be an example of something only I know and that would be called wrong because it's not what everyone else thinks. The question asks how a period of time shows a fact which is strange because time is just a number. The only way time reveals truths is when it is provoked to do so by oh right curiosity. If it was not for fact checking and skepticism, people would believe anything that anyone with a fancy suit tells them. Seriously, if everyone was that gullible do you realize how often The Onion would be cited? The past is when it happens, the present is questioning why it is the way it is and the future is getting the truth. Classified information and documents aren't just released because the government is too lazy to keep them classified but I don’t know, the government is not doing too great of a job to begin with and it would not surprise me if a couple things slipped through the cracks. You know what else the past, present or future did not reveal? Those celebrity nudes. Then again I do not think that they would be considered truths. More of like a strange invasion of privacy. You know what else does not like the whole time reveals everything thing? Movies. Imagine how terrible that would be. Usually the hero has to fight monsters or something to figure things out. Would you want to watch a movie about well about a character that knows everything? Waiting for time to solve your problems is like opening a book and hoping that it will read itself to you. I'm sorry to say technology hasn't gotten there yet. The best we have so far are talking birthday cards and audio books which lets face it just aren't the same as regular books. Honestly, I was done with this answer like a hundred words ago. This is just me killing words. This is a commentary right? This is how the whole commetary-ing works? Whatever. I didn’t have much to say on this topic anyways. You know the more you question, the more you learn. It's funny because schools are a place for learning that just so happens to hate the questioning of their methods. Same thing with the government. For something created "by the people, for the people", the people seem to be on the short end of the stick. Last time I sat around and waited for time to tell the truth all I got was bored and hungry. Lessons learned: bring snacks and never trust time when it comes to the truth because a good doctor once said "it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff."
