PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

How often have we heard these lines - forget the past and live happily in the present. Don't worry too much about the future.

I honestly don't agree to this, of course we should live in the present to lead a good, normal, happy life. But forgetting the past or not worrying about the future plainly means that we don’t care much about anything. I've seen people only care about present; go crazy about what’s happening now. So paranoid that whatever they do, it ends up in a mess. I wonder what drives someone to keep repeating the same mistakes or should I say choices. One's character is defined by their actions; no matter how much we put on a show one’s true colors are bound to come through. If we keep repeating the same mistakes then there's something critically wrong with us, is it plain stupidity or selfishness. A bit of both I guess. There's no other logical explanation. Of course not many would use the grey matter in their head to think about LOGIC, would they???? :-)

So history is equally important, to study and to remember the good and bad things, to be accountable for our deeds. This awareness can only lead to a better present and future.

Learning from the past is the biggest lesson one can learn in life, this can lead to a careful present, which might result in a good future.
