PAST

Author: Veena Mitra

The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.

-Marcel Pagnol

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

-Buddha

The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present.

-Barbara De Angelis

Wow! Nice one! I also think that Past should be remembered for all lessons it has taught us.
