Down the memory lane.

A wise man once said, “When people are asked to remember a person who meant a lot to them in life — a teacher, a friend, a parent, a grandparent — they usually remember a person who really cared and understood them. Think back in your own life. Was there someone who stands out in your memory because they really cared about you?” When I close my eyes and try to analyze and answer this question, his image comes to my mind instantaneously. He loved me so much. In fact it was mutual. We loved each immensely. But she didn’t like. She poisoned his mind constantly for years, a sustained effort and she was successful in creating the divide. I lost his love and affection. He is no more but I still love him. I remember his love, his gentle touch, his hand which once held my hand and guided me in life,his concern when I was in the medical school. The past is behind, learn from it. The future is ahead, prepare for it. The present is here, live it. One must always maintain one’s connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it. You can’t change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future. Right actions in the future are the best apologies for bad actions in the past. The farther behind I leave the past, the closer I am to forging my own character.
