BEHIND YOU!

Look back and avoid getting hit or ignore it and keep going forward?

Words could be statements of our declaration, yet effortless in comparison with the single most important thing about whatever statement we may have: doing it.

Honestly speaking, my past is important to me...

How about you guys? Do you prefer to leave your past behind or have it as a part of your life?

In need of opinions.


* ... for me, there's always a high probability of the enemy showing up from behind.

for some reason, i am still kind of "living in my past". I do not know if that's good or bad.
Past is past daw, pero the past is the foundation of the future.
the past would always be there... kaya let's just ponder bout the lessons it left us, and hopefully, learn. (am beginning to sound like my teacher way back HS. HAHAHA)

Exactly what i had in mind. Pero kunware don't-dwell-in-the-past person ka, would you still let a thing of the past affect you after claiming that you've already made a decision of never looking back?

Mind you, for me magkaiba yung "living in the past" sa "living WITH the past".

(magkaiba rin skin)
ano ba ang pagkakaiba s'yo nun?

anyways, kung don't-dwell-in-the-past person ka,
hindi dapat makaapekto.

(parang sige, look back, then look ahead again, tapos, tuloy ang lakad)

"Look back and avoid getting hit AND ignore it THEN keep going forward"

teka, praning ka kung iniisip mong kaaway lng ang pwedeng manggaling sa likuran...

nandun din ang mga kaibigan mo diba, nagbabantay pag may umaway syo, makiki-rambol! hahah

(dramahan ba ito? naalala ko lng kasi ung kantang "two steps behind")

Jeliweli: Pero in your own opinion and not having any supportive articles, ano mas prefer mo?

Ida: Pero kumbaga, susulyap ka lang sa likod then "ok..." go on. Pero worse things might hit you from the back, kaya ko nasabing "the enemy might show up from behind." Usually ano ba nagiging dahilan kaya nagkakagulo? Ung topic na ito is about a not-so-good past, so i hope u understand. ^^,

The past is important to me, as someone I've learned from, something that helped me survive, somewhere that kept me safe for this day(night).

Doesn't mean I can't trash a box of memories if they somehow begin to expire.

It's not an escape...it's kind of...an effing box that you don't need to carry but you still keep on carrying.

So I placed it beneath my bed, pushed it to the farthest back. I keep it there for safety, or for the molds it will grow.

I am such an ingrate, but you know that already.

I think whoever you are caught off-guard is you. And somehow, that's not such a bad thing to be caught with.

pinaka ayoko kase nagddwell sa past. tapos na yun e. depende nalang kung may rason ka para gawin mo pang present mo un.

Ok salamat sa opinions hehe... anyways here goes my piece:

What have we just answered here?

Answers ain't "answers" without questions, while a question could contain only a single questionmark... yet could last a lifetime unanswered. Results vary depending from the process... but who gives a damn about it.

Still, my past is hell important to me... i can't forget who i really am.

this is so true...

this has happend to me for a couple of times. thinking that it was done to me by the same person over and over again. it sucks, it's not that i dont learn from my mistakes in the past... its just that i believe that this guy that i trusted will learn from his mistakes... i was wrong. he keeps on saying things that contradicts himself. he keeps on backstabbing my enemies when we talk, only to know that he is doing the same thing to me when he talks to my enemies.
finally i have learned my lesson. this guy will never learn inspite of all the things i have told him. this guy might lose the right future, that's because he keeps repeating the wrong things in tha past.

@ Anonymous:
Pretty well-said @ quote/statement.

@ issue posted: That's sad. But I do believe that some contradictions depend on the person's comprehension of the topic and not always on the speaker alone. How well do we understand the situation is something. Looking at ourselves is another. Opinions are sometimes seen as insults, thus criticism seems too impossible to pass and understand. Right, is somewhat considered "wrong" within the opposition's point of view.

Backstabbing refers to a "considered insult" done from the past and was learnt from a reliable resource [usually concerned citizens/former friend-became-enemy] which most of the time results to the destruction of our social image yada-yada... of course it wouldn't be backstabbing if the issue was positive. Depending on how sensitive the issue is AND how it was delivered by the resource will be the end result of how the person will take it.

And it is somewhat odd to communicate freely with someone whom we consider as an enemy. Unless we want something, that is. Well, i do think that it's usually give and take. Reality is a bitch, as Jeremiah have stated. =]

Once more, this is a thing of the past. See how great its power is. ^^,
