"A TRIP TO THE PAST"

Chatting about the past, a friend was telling me that he heard from
somebody, that it wasn’t any good to recall events from the past,
because, it can make us suffer, it can make us cry.
Believe me he said, he was a wise person from the ancient china.
And just kidding to him I said: Many people had said that:
The past hurts us! Forget about the past! Live the present!
But I think it’s not correct!
Why?
Well, because if remembering make us suffer…
Not remembering will make us die! We are our memories!
Do you remember when you receive in your arms your first born?
Remember when you kissed it with all your love?
Look: If somebody asks you where do you live, or, what is your
name and your answer would be: I don’t know! I don’t remember!
That would really be suffering! Don’t you think so?
We should open those doors of the past more often to prevent its
hinges to get rusted and be harder to open them up!
How are we going to “repair” our bad decisions of yesterday,
to improve our future, if today we do not remember how it was?
Our minds are the most powerful recorder that we could ever have!
In it, all our past is recorded and we could obtain it!
The “drawer” of our memories may be bad organized!
We should learn how to deal with it! And practice everyday!
In a trip to the past we could see all the bad actions we had done,
If we ask for forgiveness to all people we had hurt, and forgive all
who hurt us, we could clean completely our past.
Have peace in the present!
And prepare ourselves for a better future!

Father:
Forgive our trespasses as we forgive the ones who trespasses
unto us, and protect us from the evil one…
Amen!
