Forgetting the Past

The past is known to stick along with us for years and more often than not it's the pain that it carries more than the pleasures. People have been wrong to think that forgetting their past is difficult. We eschew the fact that the past was in 24*7 as well. What remains ingrained in our memory are only the events that could make a mark. Rest of the portion you would already have forgotten.

Forgetting the past is easy, we do it all the time; albeit forgetting memories entrenched in your minds is not easy at all but a difficult possible. We are mostly unfair to our past. We have this innate quality to create imbalances between the good and bad memories of our past. We strikingly remember anything that hurt us in the past, but the majority of time that was not worth remembering all these years, were so only because that wasn't the time you were in sorrow.

Pain and Pleasures are both sporadic in our past and present. We individuals love sympathising with ourself. We love to pity on ourself. Hence we look for reasons to do so. Even the worst of times spent in our past is after all a part of our past and is in no way the present. Wasting our energies, emotions, and feelings for the past is an act of stupidity. What matters is the present. Living in your present doesn't give you much time for the past.

Life is like traveling on a one way expressway, and looking back only increases the chances of meeting a fatal accident. Our minds have been designed to forget what has happened so that we can accumulate a lot more of the present. The future is unleashed only when we get rid of the bondages of our past.

“The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.”
