Thoughts!? Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I do!. I never fail to question it, but I never fail to answer it either!. I believe it is because without our past, we wouldn't be us!. We have to look back on it!. It impacts the choices we make for the future!. Lingering on it harms us, but we do it anyways!. What we make of what we've done, will present the outcome!. When we can't do things right, it is because we're stuck on something, and we need to overcome the obstacle in order to make right!. When we do, we'll be looking on something else in the past!. Looking back - to fix what we thought was wrong for us, and wrong for what we want!. When we realize we're doing this, we should try to place it into what's going on at the time!. Try to figure out why you're thinking back, and what it's doing!. What it'll help at the moment!. That should keep things going!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I think we look back to think of all the good times we had, good memories which can never be made again!. We also ponder on the mistakes we did, so as to take a better decision further!. We don't look forward because we are not sure about what is to come in future!. In fact, in the process of spending each day of our life, we are creating memories!. That is why they say "Spend each day of your life, as if its your last"!. Www@QuestionHome@Com I ask myself that all the time!. So many things have happened in my past, good and bad!. I regret so many things, which would make my life so much better than it is!. I do, however, try to forget these things!.!.!.no matter how hard it is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com As a buddhist, I only believe in the present!. Suffering is caused by feeling bad about the past and worrying about the future!. Happiness is not about getting what we want but appreciating what we have!. Change the way you look at things!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com its easy because we already have done it!. we know the outcome of some decisions good and bad that we made and some of the consequences!. so in hindsight its easy to say we should-of, could-of, would-ofs!. the future is unknown!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
