Modern Life is Rubbish

“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage and kindness… The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.” ~ Howard Zinn.

The past is made beautiful because of the emotion we attached to it. The souls of those who are no longer with us are being held captive in our memory. They are lost to us until the day we recognized them again when they called us by our name.

It is then that we are free from their spell and the emotion we once attached to them returns to share our life. To many, that day may come after a long time, or more likely, it may not come at all.

The time we spent with people in this life may have been fleeting, but the relationship we share with them lasts for eternity. We can never recapture our own past. And thus, we must cherish the present.

When looking out the window of a train, we can see the view in front and also those behind us at the same time. Our emotions are only complete when we looked back to the memories of our past and realized those we loved have been with us all along.
