How do we face the future when the past is present?

    Hmm ... I've been thinking about this for few days after I watched Sex and the City. This question had make me think of all kind of possibilities and consequences of it. Everyone and so do I face this problem everyday and how do we really settle it once and for all ? Is there an answer for it or it's just a let it be situation ... 

    Future ... It is hard for us to define it  as we don't know what is happening next second. Some may take it as a positive thinking as it gives us hope. But how about the negative minders? For them is another second to worry about or even additional second to be sad. Why do we as human always think of something which doesn't exist at the first day. It is just a plain word that we give meaning to it. Where to meaning come from, also from the mouth of man kind. So everyone actually have the ability to define their own future and no man shall tell you or persisting someone in their own way. Everyone is born free, it's just the environment who makes us feel that we are not born free. Who sets the rule of can and can't or yes and no? Its the environment, the society we grew up! Because they tell us doing this is not good then does it really mean that what we do is bad? Or look at it another way, everyone has different preference and character, so why don't we look at each other in a more simple method then telling the future this can that cannot.

    Because of the past, it defines the future. And when the past define the future, this means that it is still present. Why do we let our past define our future? Is it a cycle or is it a habit of life. Past has always been dead locking our future. We always live in our past and make it present. Yes, sometime it does help us but the reason we look at it is because we are afraid of our future. We let our past to define it and let it over power us. No man can stop themselves thinking like that so do I. But it's just a random thought that I'm having now.
