The past is truly a part of life. We either carefully or carelessly take heed of our past. We�cannot deal with the present if we haven't been in the past. We rely on our past experiences to act on present events.

Association breeds familiarity. We relate our options to those we encountered in the past in their present context. Rationality, armed with instinct and proximity, makes it easier or us to choose which alternative to take. Truly, life is full of choosing between numerous possibilities. Stupidity is the simplest alibi offered by a man who repeats past mistakes. Wisdom is the best gift a man receives from the knowledge learned then painful memories ought forgotten are likely triggered by present circumstances. Our hearts are delighted when we recount our crushes, heartaches and unrequited loves of yesteryear. Our soul believed when we finally realized we made a good decision then and it presently bore good results.
