76. Stuck in The Past
I think it's natual to reflect at the end of the day,or the end of the
week,month or year. But the danger of a reflecting and focusing on the past is
that we kind of get lost in it. I know people that think about all the mistakes
they've made,the lost opportunities,the things they wish they could go back and
change. They always seem to be talking about the past. They just can't let go of
it. It's almost like they spend more time in the past than in the present. On
the other hand, I think having zero regret is a mistake. It's good to say
"sorry", it's good to learn from my mistakes. But too much is too much. It's
nice to think about the good old days when life was great. Times from my
childhood, times when we used to go to a certain school, times when we used to
play certain games. It's nice to think about the once-in-a-while and be not
sdulgic. But we live in the present, it's good to laugh about time's gone by.
But what happens when we are crying about those times, what happens when we get
depressed because of them. The past could never be a stronger pool on us than
the present. When we are another, I think we have to let go of the past if it
keeps us from functioning well in the present.
Talk about it, how do we let go of the past? Do you have any friends that
only talk about the good old days when you get together? Do you find yourself
regreting a lot about your past? Would you say you are a present-thinking
person? What kinds of things bring you back to the here-and-now? Do you know
anyone who can't let go of the past? What event of the past is still bothering
that person? "Those who did not learn from the history are doomed to repeat it",
what does this statement mean to you? What about people who are living in the
future? What do you think of them? |
