Nothing good ever comes out of bringing the past into the present. Past is better left where it belongs. Past will never fit into the present or into the future. Well, isn't it why it is called "past"? Let memories be memories. Memories are better in pictures than if they were walking around.
What is this compelling need to relive the past? What is this compelling need to fix the past? Something deep inside me kept telling "Do not wake up the dead. Let the dead be dead. Let the past be past." Would have done me good if I had listened.
Experiences from the past mistakes...help us learn. But do we learn? Why do we want to do it all over again? How can we expect a different outcome this time?
Well, this time I learnt that somethings never change and that some people do change....lesson to remember,until I dare to do the mistake next time .
I can feel your pain jumping from these words into me.. I know exactly what you mean I have been there... I live that now. The reason we do it is because it's familiar to us. As humans we are so afraid of the unknown that we will go back to a bad situation just to be hurt again just because it's familiar and it ends up in an endless cycle because yes people change but you will always remember the way they made you feel. Leap into the unknown and if you are as afraid as I am.. well we can leap together.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous and what if the past becomes the present...does that still qualify as past??
ReplyDeleteThat's what I mean.. It's one big endless loop like
ReplyDeletewhile(true)
{
GoBackToCrappySituation();
}
GoToNewSituationMayBeCrappyMayNot();
the only way out of that loop is to add a break;
