THE PAST
THE PAST
Never neglect the past. All that can be known has already passed.
That, or those, which, or who, urge you to forget the past, or your past are counseling calamity to you.
It is better to know it; to face it; to derive lessons, value from it; use it!
None can know tomorrow with certainty; which they may not live to see!
The future cannot be known, nor taught; merely speculated upon.
The present is but a sensory blur.
Mine that at hand. Dig where you can, be it under water or on land. Therein dwells and abides the past, your past. At last!
