Short Circuit

We all have a PAST ... and we have made CHOICES that we are not proud of.

The problem is ... there are people who refused to talk about their past, even questioning you for raising that question.  "Does it matter?" they asked because the past is past and revisiting them doesn't make sense, 

Indeed past is past, but we learn from experience ... we learn from reflecting on experience.  “Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks ... learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.”
