between the past and the future ... lies a present that needs our attention .. a present that is to be the gift of the day ..
there are people who look into the future so much .. that they do not pay attention to their present .. and eventually do not care of the consequences of their behavior to people around them .. at the same time .. looking away from their past .. forgetting who they are .. and where they came from; and mostly shunning away anything and everything that used to lie back there .... they would call them selves ambituous ... I would call them .. overly obsessed!
there are also people .. who dwell much in their past .. either feeling sorry for the good old days that have gone ... or living in regret at the bad days that they had seen ... in either case .. their eyes are always at the back ... not seeing what lies around them .. missing out on a vision into the future ...
i don not understand such people ...
What is gone is gone ... no amount of remorse or sorrow will bring it back ! By gones are by gones .. like I say in arabic - كان .. فعل ماضي ذهب وولى - which means 'was' a past tense that has gone and is a by gone (its not literal ... its the essence!:p) anwyays ... when we look too long into the past .. we often stumble over the obstacles of the present .. and fall right on to our face into the future ... it would be a nasty fall !!
what we should do .. is pay attention to our present .. with the past in our heart - the good days briniging a smile to our face .. and the bad days being our guiding lesson .. nothing more ... and a short eye on the future .. to know in which direction we want to head to ... the past gives us the firm ground to step with our present on it and walk with stability .. and the future vision is to give us the leap into higher grounds ..
between the past and the future .. usually the present is lost ... and that shouldnt happen ...
between the past and the future .. is ... "us" .. and if we look at either one too much .. we lose ...
so ... between the past and the future ... what is your say?

My say is that you can become a good psychologist ;-)
Well I agree with you. We need to have a balance between our past & future while not neglecting our present. After all, our present is shaped by our past & our future will also be shaped by our present.
