“WE HUMANS AND OUR LIVES”

THE DARK PAST IN OUR LIVES

There are good and bad things that happen to all of us in life but of those there are a couple of issues or incidents in our life that leave a very big impact on our life or rather I shall say happenings of certain incidents that change our entire life completely. The occurrence of few incidents is in our control while the rest are out of our control. As most of us try to run from the dark side of our past in order to get over it, I learned a complete new method of getting over it, that is thinking more and more about the dark side of my past. Mere thinking does not help so what I learned on doing is to accept and let go of that bad past. To accept the occurrence of that dark past helps us beat the coward inside us who is always horrified by the fear factor. We are the ones who need to make a choice on whether we would allow our dark past to ruin our present and future or whether we would be the ones who would be the own dictator of our present and future lives.

There was a problem that I was facing for the last couple of years and actually I was running away from it which helped initially or rather for that particular moment but later it just got over me and made me very sad and depressed because it was rooted deep inside me but for the last 1 year or so I had decided to face this bad past of mine instead of running away from it.  To an extent I did manage to succeed but I was not sure of what I was doing, but when I learned that this is also a way of getting over your past totally, that is when my confidence built and as of now I am not really bothered about that dark side of my past. It is because now I have stopped giving it undue importance and I do not feel sad about it when a thought on it just runs across my mind. I sometimes feel that I should not have ruined the important years of my life thinking on such issues or incidents that are now past.
