You are mired down for week, months and even years with the ghosts and memories of the past. For me they evaporate in an instant and free me to act with impunity. I have no reminder of what has happened. There is no cautionary tale. There is no record of things that came to pass. That is why it is futile to try to draw the past to my attention in some hope that I may change or may recognise the force of what you are saying. You try to point out something we once had, once done, once shared. Not to me. It never existed. It is a waste of my energy to hold onto the past. I never look back. You would do well to do the same.
The text discusses the idea that dwelling on the past can hinder personal growth and freedom. The speaker expresses a strong desire to move forward without being burdened by old memories or experiences. Unlike others, who may be trapped by nostalgia or regret, the speaker emphasizes their ability to let go of the past instantaneously, which allows them to act without hesitation or fear of consequences.
This perspective suggests that clinging to memories and shared experiences is unproductive. The speaker advises others to abandon their attachment to the past, as it serves no purpose and only drains their energy. By encouraging a forward-looking mindset, the text highlights the importance of living in the moment rather than being held back by previous events.
