“Our purpose has always been to connect the world,” Mark Zuckerberg remarked.
My question is, can we declare, “Our mission is always to connect the world?”
In this situation, what is the difference between “has always been” and “is always”?
The phrase “has always been” indicates that the mission was always like this in the past.
“is always” emphasizes the present and future mission rather than the past.
If the mission is actually changing significantly, this could be made clearer by using the phrase “is now.”
In other words, When you use the phrase “has always been to connect,” it indicates that their purpose is to strive to link the globe on a continual basis. When you use the phrase “is always to connect,” it indicates that their purpose is to connect the globe.
