Those who cannot detach themselves form the past have a problem. By remaining anchored to what “has been”, they do not experience what “is”, often living in the fear of what “will be”. Keeping on remembering the good old days, the loved one who abandoned them, the lost job, the fading youth and beauty, the nest left empty by the children etc., some human beings end up by not living their lives. Without realizing it, they deny what good the present moment can offer, lost as they are in useless - sometimes even dangerous and harmful - memories. Yes, some memories can be dangerous and harmful because they deprive the individual of his/her capacity to cope with the present moment, with the situation they are living in. And the present moment, the situation they are living in is the only thing they need to take care of, because it is their “actual” life.
