I will remember it as the present that help me to create the future perhaps by forgetting it ...it means that "for" the "getting"....of "things" and "people" of the future ...we learnt from the past ....well, for me alot of things in the past remains in my heart and mind ....nevertheless, i know that in letting go of the past, i will live a much happier present where it will again, become a past :)

s.a., very interesting how it is that we can create through forgetting...........

i wonder, if i am focused on the future, do i forget the present?

Sally Ang said...

Maybe when you are focused on the future ....you will work happily and dilligently in the present ...Anne, what if the future does not promised you on the focus that you depend on, what would you do ??

i would say that my present is series of surprising events. thinking about the future does not seem to change that.

if i forget my past, will i create another one?

Sally Ang said...

Isn't the forgetting of the past, the surprising present ??....haha ...thanks for the reminder of thinking of the future :)

The past won't let you forget it

anne artist said...

R, then the past speaks to me in present tense?

Sally Ang said...

Don't "pretense" (pretend) that the past don't speak ....haha :)...honour the past, treasure the present, and embrace the future :)...

very funny!

if i think of the past, am i seeing it through the lens of who i have become today?

Sally Ang said...

That is how i "use" my past ....if there is nothing to honour about...then perhaps we can learn from it ...and the present will become a past ...that you put in your best efforts to make it wonderful....but ...we must take heart ....cos our focus on the future ...may not answer the way ...that we think we want it to be ....maybe it will be better, maybe worse ....but whatever it is ...we had lived thoroughly now :)

i like that s.a.: the concept of answering the way.......

perhaps our way is created through questions..........
