They indicate the past time because we know what is passed but we
don't know our future.......

Could you not, just as logically, ask why clocks, watches and normal
sundials don't indicate directly the time left until midnight?

Subject: Italian hours
Italian hours are counted from sunset. One has to take its
complement from 24 to know the time left until suntime.
Why sundials with Italian hours do'nt indicate directly the result
of this calculation? Is there a practical or historical reason?
