And more section, Second edition. (Time)
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift; that is why it is called present." (Quote from Turtle guy in Kung Fu Panda)
Time is a very valuable thing, and should never be wasted. Time doesn't change our fate or change what happens; It merely watches us and never stops going forward at a steady pace. Even though time continues moving forward; it lingers in our minds by the past. The past is what we cannot forget, and what we must learn from; that is the only way time will impact our fate, and that is by teaching us what was right and what was wrong to do.
Our memories hold what our brain considers to be needed, or useful, information. The part of our brain that 'remembers' is quite misunderstood; that part of the brain has a job that is surprising, it is supposed to forget, not remember. Though the unfortunate truth of the matter is some things are just burned into our memories and, as much as we want to, we cannot forget. This may be something you are ashamed of, or something traumatizing, but whatever it is our brain considers it needed information, and that needed information is what we must learn from.
The present or, what is happening now, is considered the most important because what we do now can change our future path in any way, shape, or form. We cannot change the past or the future, but the present is the one thing we have some control over. Ones who are wise have accepted the fact that the present is the only thing we can change, the past and future our out of our control. Though people still stress over what they've done and what might be coming up, this is something we cannot afford to do. Time spent thinking about time is wasted time, and we cannot waste any of the time we have.
The future is a land uncharted by even the best explorers; it is a land that is forever changing, and a land where anything and everything can happen. We never know what will happen in the future, but we always stress about it and we always wonder if it will be beneficial or it will ultimately kick us in the face. We choose a path that we will follow into the future, but what happens if we change it? Do the things that we've done on the over path disappear? Or do they linger and find themselves following us onto the different path? We can never tell for sure and, all we can do truly; is focus on the present and stop looking back or forward, only look at whats in front of you.
