"I don't understand those who talk about the past and the future and don't see the present moment, which is life. The rest is an illusion of what was or an illusion you create. And to live when you live?" – Marin Preda
And yet if we didn't have a past it means we never had a present tense.
And when we finish speaking the present, it is already reporting to the past! And only this thought can cause inside a pile of emotions, feelings, like a roller coaster, just like the life of each of us.
The past is all that can be contained inside and outside of the being, on a conscious and subconscious level, seen and unseen, it is the life lesson of each of us, to which we are currently awardees, none of us fell to this extemporaneous. With every moment compared to the past, YOU ARE the one of TODAY, with good and bad, with special teachings, specially brought and taken over by you through great-grandparents, parents, teachers, brothers, who together built you the strong man of today. Each stage is a new experience, a choice of what will follow...
The past can always acquire other values in accordance with your present state, when you are happy you return to the past with nostalgia, on the other hand when you are overwhelmed by sadness mainly difficult moments appear, unpleasant memories from the past.
And yet...YOU, where you identify yourself anchored:
• the past loaded with negative emotions,
• the nostalgia of the past,
• the hedonic present,
• the fatalistic/predetermined present,
• the future centered on objectives,
• transcendental future?
The difficult moments of the past are part of you for self-knowledge and development, the present ones to evolve and the future ones to enjoy the journey itself.
And how important is reporting to the past, present and future?
The present is interconnected with the past and the future!
Psychologist Carmen Mariana Ardeleanu
