That solely depends on your value system. You choose your value system and then figure out what you are obligated to do.

And presumably what one considers real has bearing on one's value system. Not even remotely suggesting that I have any answers. Nevertheless, it seems to me that the ontological status of the past and/or future somehow matters.
