Abraham Lincoln said, I am a slow walker, but I never look backwards. I suggest that you never look backward. Life is a forward impulse and the past is gone. You can live only in the here and now. But there are compulsive people who insist on looking backward. Attempting to stay in boundaries as though warring blinders, they look to a past that cannot be relived or experienced again. They fail to understand that, at best, all they can do is react emotionally to the past. The past can never be resurrected, yesterday is gone. Never look back.
