How the Past can affect your Future
... The Pain of our past and the memories of our childhood can make our minds feeble and our hearts weak, or stone cold to the one’s around us. Whether we love our family or not, our past can drastically change our lives for better or worse, forever. ... This book is fictional, but is a good example of how the negatives in your past can control your future…if you let it. Many people who have been abused, such as being neglected, or beaten…or maybe even sexually abused as a child or in their past has let the pain of their past control their future for the worse. The pain from past incidents can live on through the way we react to certain situations and the way we think. ... Instead of her accepting the abuse, she should really recognize her self worth, and use her experience from the past with her first husband and realize that she deserves better than that, and she doesn’t have to live this way. But she chose to let her past control her future, and live a miserable life, which makes everyone around her respect her less and feel sorry for her.
