We hear stories of how people were in their lives, even more some people without tack end up saying the wrong things at the wrong time. I have decided long ago it is not worth the pain and aggravation it causes when you bring up the bad that someone has done in their life. They either learn to live with what they have done and more onward (as should us all) or you will end up with more wrinkles at an early age.
I can think of a couple of people that “live in the past” and I see these people who whimper and complain, but never do anything to change things. They are unable to let go of the past and make amends. People like this are those that drag the rest of us down and there really is no need for such a thing. Who wants to be upset and depressed all of the time? There is so much more to life than debating over what could have been, what should have been or who did what to whom and will pay for it in the end.
We are all adults and even if you are not a legal adult yet, people need to step up to the plate and start acting like it. While it sounds silly to many, there are just a ton of idiots out there. People that live in the past never end up enjoying what the present has to offer. What happens one day when you miss out on the best thing of your life because you were too busy being over emotional and sorry for yourself?
It is possible to manage your life and let go or at least come to peace in your own mind of the troublesome times. If you can do this you will end up being healthier in the end, mental and emotional wise. Your mind will be free from the things that seem to bother you most, you will not feel as you have the weight of the world on your shoulders and you may even smile a little more.
If people in the past who have done harm and aware of it or not can come to terms, are free themselves then there is no reason why others that are effected by things from the past cannot do the same.
