If we stand back and take a look at life, it is very interesting isn't it? Starting from the time when we learn to speak, then getting new frens in skool, roughing out the study pressures together and in the end, stand up and make themselves a name. During those times, it's unmistakable that some would turn into a new leaf, because what they had done would not lead them anywhere positive. But, isn't it the stark fact that, no matter how better u had become, no matter how different you are from then, the past would always catch up and bring you back down? Look at Bill Gates, he is one of the richest in the world but no one respects him much. Why? It doesn't change the fact that he was a school dropout before. Then George Bush, people continue to make jokes at him. Why again ? A poor academic record. No matter how it is, the past is something to behold. Its power so strong it can incapicipate the future, regardless how changed you are. The world would still think you are a school dropout eventhough you had demonstrated your remarkable marketing strategies. They would still poke at you eventhough you are the leader of a nation. Although they first saw the new you but once something about your past crops up, the past and present will twirl together and be lumped into one when they are two different things altogether. So we ask ourselves, why tell people to change when in the end, it all ends up the same. The scar of the past will always be there, and because of that, no matter how sorted you are now, you will still be deemed as the same as your past. Transforming yourself will never heal the past. The only thing that will heal them, is to let go of the past. But that could never happen, because everyone in this world is different and they each uphold their own philosophies. So, why change? Why sort things out when it would never change anything? Continue to move on they say, true enough i agree, but the past will always catch up. Mistakes in the past shall deform the future, although how hard you tried to atone it, it will always remain there.
