Writing About Life
It is very true, we always know better in retrospect. Most of us get stuck with our past, as it is our comfort zone; the challenge is to see it, just as a reference, and focus on living it as it comes, instead of rehearsing the past life.

Yes we can’t change the past even if we try. And we should not cling to it either.

As usual, Deborah, I like your combination of idea and image 🙂 I would even go so far as to say that we may never understand the past–why this war, why that personal tragedy. As Kierkegaard points out, we can move forward, knowing where past mistakes have led us.

Thanks Sandi! That is true sometimes we still can not understand even when looking back at something like a personal tragedy.

Yes. I think this quote does not apply to personal tragedy as much as struggles we go through and then later we can say we learned something from them.

It’s true of course, one of those well stated obvious things (emphasis on the well stated). I wish we had options of living backwards, though.

I took it as we must keep going forward even when we don’t understand the whys and wherefores of our current situation. And that we may learn the lessons of things when we look backwards later.

Very true – hindsight and all that. Thanks for this Deborah. 😀
