On "Letting go" of the Past...

01-07-2022

“Moving on” is not the same as acting like it never happened. To “move on” is to provide healing and recompense, to build foundations to ensure that the mistakes and tragedies of the past never happen again.

We do this by remembering.

And from remembering comes the learning.

And from the learning comes the action.

And there MUST be action, for sentiments accomplish nothing by themselves.

To ignore the past is to ensure it becomes our future.

Much has been said about letting go of the past to reach the future, and of the dangers of holding on to something long gone. But the past is the platform upon which we stand, and what we will stand on when we take our steps forward. We have to look at the past. We have to remember, so that we won’t repeat the mistakes of those who had gone before us.

They may now only be bones, but still they speak: "this is not a tragedy you have to repeat."
