Today I learn a great thing

[bijaybd]

Today i was visiting a website. and i learn a very good thing from there. A user was started a topic about depression about our past. He wrote that "A very wise man was telling a joke in front of so many audience and everyone laugh a lot. He again said the same joke some people laugh and some didn't. He keep telling the same joke again and again and after sometimes no one laugh anymore. So, He laugh and said we didn't laugh about the jokes we heard again and again but we always cry for those things which are gone past and we never let them go from our life"
Actually the thing was very beautiful i guess i couldn't explained it very well but i really learn something that we should leave our past and always thing about the future.

While I think that is true to some extent, it's important to not let go of the past completely, because if you do then someone may make those same mistakes over again. It's important to live for the future, but one should always remember the past as well because that's what made them who they are today. Someone should learn from their past, so they can become a stronger and better person, however, if they ignore their past fully then they'll lose some of those important lessons in life they learned.

I'm glad you found some inspiration or enlightenment in your realization .... but please allow me to amend your statement just a little. For I think it not very wise, prudent or culturally responsible to not include ones past in ones future. This means the good with the bad in order to maintain a "balance" in ones life.

Here in the States (America) we are culture lite and usually will only have 2 generations in any home. Unlike in Europe in that an average home could reflect 3 or 4 generations.

We learn a lot from our past I would hope we keep it as a reminder in our travels through life. I agree we can let go the negative feelings and hardships of our past but even then the lessons learned are most likely gems to keep for ever.

Again I'm happy for you and wish you well ...

should leave our past and always thing about the future.

yeah, the future is much more important, simply because we cannot influence the past, but can and do directly influence our future by our current behavior and thoughts.

yes we should try to think about the future to cry about old things is just a waste of time

I'm going to throw a wrench in the works just for the fun of it...lol.

Everyone talks about past and future like time is linear. It's not. We don't move through time - it moves through us. There is no past or future; only present.

Are your memories really yours? What was may not have been.

As soon as I finish typing this, time has passed. Did I actually write this, or is it just a memory in my present mind (which will no longer exist since time doesn't work that way).


Something to ponder...lol
