We have all examined our past critically and are very much aware of even the unpleasant things. Now, we need to look at what we plan to do with the lessons we have learned from the past.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's a need to dig up the past and analyze it.
What happened in the past that was painful has a great deal to do with what we are today, but revisiting this painful past can contribute little or nothing to what we need to do now.
History provides a sense of where we've been and lessons that can be taken forward.
If we understand the past, we are more likely to recognise what is happening around us.
We are anxious in the face of our unchangeable past; we long to recreate segments of our private histories, but we are stuck with them.
When you begin to think about the past, you realize how much of it is lost to us.
How we think about the future and the past determines everything about how we think about our situation as human beings.
We must carefully examine change so that we are able to discard those aspects of change which would be detrimental to our way of life, and, at the same time, take advantage of those aspects of change which will enhance and improve our quality of life.
When you face up to bad things in the past, the most important thing is not to allow them to happen today or in the future, and as storytellers, we must play our part in that.
Our past is a story existing only in our minds. Look, analyze, understand, and forgive. Then, as quickly as possible, chuck it.
