Memories are really quite crippling...
Bad memories cause negative feelings to permeate our whole being paralyzing us...
Good memories bring about nostalgia, which can have us weeping for what was...
But then, we are the ones who create our own store of memories, so what do we do about that? From my readings I learn that the only way to live is in the here and now. Memories belong to the past, and that is where they should remain...the past is another country, remember? we've left it behind - the good, the beautiful, the bad and the ugly...our only responsibility is to create a good here and now...a here and now, the karma of which would yield a future of well-being...
