Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I try to look at my present life through the eyes of my present more experienced self!. However, I do not ignore my past or pretend it does not exist because it's what has given me all of my knowledge today!. I just try not to get emotional over it, you know, be objective and step out side my own self so i can see the picture more clearly!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, I go forward in life and live for each day in the present!. The past has good times and bad times and I only try to remember the happy moments!. I find that thinking of good times makes the present life a happier one!. A person may learn from past mistakes but they have to live in the present to be happy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I try Not to, but I know I'm guilty of it and sometimes we sabotage ourselves that way!.
Interestingly enough, though, that's how we learn!.!.!.!.!.!.by building our personal knowledge on our experiences!. One experience builds on another to create knowledge!.

Although we must remember there is also "a priori knowledge!." at least according to Kant!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

no personally I dont because i think you must move on and to be true to yourself you do not get anywhere by thinking and acting on emotional things that have happened in the past, emotions are something you feel at the time, not memories!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nope!. That just causes a person to live in the past, become depressed for that past or regret the mistakes one made!.
Learn from the past and move into the here and now!. That is the only way to live!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

frequently, and the point of having ego strength is to discern whether to act on the feelings that come up from that or not!. Sometimes merely observing and noting them is the best way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, I do not I have always been content with the way my Life, is!. Thanks to the almighty God, for everything!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There were times when my past stained every thing in my life!. Not so much, now, because when I wipe away the emotions of the past, my vision becomes much clearer; I'm far more objectiveWww@QuestionHome@Com

Our life in the past is what makes it in the present!. Therefore it's with emotions, feelings, actions!.!.!.that our present is made of!. We see with our mind and our heart!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sometimes it's unavoidable!. Today I found out that my Ex died a month ago!. It made me emotional and take a look at myself and my life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not sure what Ya mean here Rita but I agree that emotion plays a dominant role in our decision making!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Past is my base on which my present life building is standing at present!. It can not be ignored!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
