Circumstances in Retrospect

We familiarize ourselves with the things of our past by recalling those things that are supposed to be behind us.  A few of us are stuck trying to relive and make believe that if I do it again a different way things will be better this go round.  There is no way to avoid the past and there is definitely no way to remake the past, the past has out lived itself. Who we are now is no comparison to who we were then. You have moved from a place of mistakes to maturity. People who continually make the same mistakes don’t necessarily learn from them. They are the people who we all should avoid. Mature minded people take from past mistakes, own up to it and then move on. But when circumstances hit our lives, we are then thrust to reflect back. Apologies never get old nor do they do they go out of style. If you have to apologies do it now, so you can move on even if they can’t. We are a generation of people who are looking for answers, to solve all of our problems. But when we can’t find the answers we look for other people in similar situations to feed upon. We never really want the truth, because in the truth we will see ourselves differently and that part of us is too painful to bear. The best medicine for this type of pain is to simply be honest.  Honesty is the best policy, especially when lying only delays the pain. And before someone tries to bring up your past that is now behind you to hurt you, show them how immune you are to their poison by injecting them with antidote that saved your life the Truth.
