The Past. The past is so fucking detrimental to a person's thought process. History has proven that mankind will always yearn for this "Golden Age". It's bullshit like Disney's Celebration (
http://www.celebrationfl.com/) that don't allow us to wake the fuck up. This is a closed community which is meant to represent a 50's type lifestyle, where neighbors are encouraged to engage in activities and everyone is friendly, basically the shit you see in creepy movies. The past is only a place for people to hide from their problems. One needs to realize that even during this "golden age" people were just as fucked up as you are. And the assholes sulking in the corner wishing they had the past back, need to fucking realize that the past wasn't that good anyway, it just wasn't as fucked as you are now.
That being said, and this new light being shed on the fact that you were always fucked in the ass, one can now finally stop crying about the past and actually get up and do something with themselves. Life will offer you no hand in getting up. And lady luck will not always be on your side. You will be constantly tested, and whether you believe it is from a higher power or not, the same belief will ring true. You look to the future and not to the past. The past should only serve as guidance and not a blueprint, because as stated earlier it was never as good as you thought it was.
