"THE PAST"

 "TIME IS FREE, BUT IT'S PRICELESS. YOU CAN'T OWN IT, BUT YOU CAN USE IT. YOU CAN'T KEEP IT BUT YOU CAN SPEND IT. ONCE YOU'VE LOST IT, YOU CAN NEVER GET IT BACK." - HARVEY MACKAY

 as per mr wikipedia....

"most generally, the past is a term used to indicate the totality of events which occurred before a given point in time. The past is contrasted with and defined by the present and the future. The concept of the past is derived from the linear fashion in which human observers experience time, and is accessed through memory and recollection. In addition, human beings have recorded the past since the advent of written language." - wiki

yes, past... for me past: 

1.       is simply a recorded reality, a history.

2.       is an element of time in which we can make use of it as tool to hone ourselves better. we can utilize it as to observe ourselves and others.

3.       Is an observatory where we can study aspects of life, the repercussions of our previous actions prior to results that led into a recent past. 

the past has its own properties as well, some of which are my observations and are included but not limited to the following:

1.       cannot be edited but can be use to correct future incidents through application of change in process of the current circumstances.

2.       has lots of lessons which can be used to improve oneself if one pursues to get better.

3.       has its own successions and stored emotions which has been encrypted and is dependent on that certain period instance of time

4.       can be used as a tool to dodge or treat similar or close to similar current or upcoming events.

the past can be both a friend and a enemy. it can help you to be positive as well as to be negative. it can also be a safe(vault) for memories to be treasured or a prison that might lock you up in your frustrations and will drag you down.
