The past...well it's just that, the past. It isn't the present or the future. The past affects both of these, but it is not either. You should not judge someone on who they used to be, but who they have become. Everyone makes mistakes they later regret. If your smart you learn from this. If your not you forget it ever happend, resulting in the repetitive pattern of making that mistake. The past will always be there, for this i have learned the hard way. I thought when i got to high school,i would have a chance to finally free myself of the burdens of past doings, only to find that some people just won't let the past go. Also I trust people with information attaining to my past only to find that they stab me in the back by using the information i trusted them so dearly with against me. The only thing this accomplishes is breaking my trust and making them look like a fool. Nobody really knows my past, what i have been through, the events i have seen and experienced. SO therefore i do not think that people should judge me on my past. You can only truly understand a person if you've lived their life. I have been to hell and back in this life. I'm not saying that i should be put on a pedestal and people should think of me more highly because of this. I'm just saying that when people assume to know me or assume to know all that i'm about, they should think about it. DO they know me? Do they understand me, know what i'm about and what i stand for? The answer is simply "no". You can not begin to understand what i'm about or why i handle things the way i do, unless you have been through what i have or you haved lived my life. People should be more open minded and not judge as much. Judging only leads to a false sense knowledge. If you honestly got to know that person withought making false assupmtions about them from their past, you may find a great person. Someone who you really enjoy. Why do humyns always find the need to assume before they know?
