The ancient Greek poet Homer once said, "The past is gone, and the past cannot be undone." Indeed, no matter how beautiful the sunshine of yesterday was, it could not be moved to today's album. Why don't we grasp the present and cherish what we have in the present moment? Why waste your good time in regret about the past?

Around us, there are many people who are always haunted by some unpleasantness that has happened. As a result, yesterday has become a shadow that can never be shaken off. Because of the stubborn refusal to forgive or forget, yesterday's wounds will always be difficult to heal, and the pain will be painful, so that today and even tomorrow will not be peaceful.

Socrates once brought his students to the edge of the field, when the rice was ripe, and the autumn wind blew, and the smell of rice was heard, and the branches of the rice were heavy ears. "Each of you walks along a row of rice from one end of the rice field to the other, picking an ear of rice that you think is the largest and the best. There is no turning back, no second choice. Socrates commanded.

The students set off. Throughout the process of walking through the rice fields, they were very careful in their choices.

By the time they reached the other end of the rice field, the teacher was already waiting for them.

"Have you all chosen the ears of grain that you are satisfied with?" Socrates asked.

Students, you look at me, I look at you, and they won't answer.

"What's wrong? Kids, are you happy with your choice? Socrates asked again.

"Teacher, let me choose again!" One student pleaded, "When I walked into the rice field, I found a very large and good ear of grain, but I wanted to find a bigger and better one, and when I got to the end of the rice field, I realized that the ear of grain I saw for the first time was the largest and the largest." ”

Another student then said, "My brother and I are the opposite, I went into the rice field and soon picked an ear that I thought was the biggest and best, but later I found that there were more ears of grain in the rice field that were bigger and better than the one I had picked. Teacher, please let me choose again! ”

"Teacher, let's all choose again!" Other students request together.

Socrates shook his head firmly: "Children, there is no second choice, life is like this. ”

This story tells us that the past is in the past, you don't have a second chance, and you can't do it all over again. If you miss it, you miss it forever.

We have done wrong things ourselves, we have failed, and if we can make up for it, we will try to make up for it; If you can't make it up, you might as well put everything behind and never touch it again. Don't spend all day wandering in the ocean of regret and not being able to get out. Regret cannot change reality, it will only erase the beauty of the future and add a shadow to the future life.

Mr. Carnegie once visited Hesse's prison and was amazed at how happy the prisoners looked like the rest of the world. Warden Rhodes told Carnegie that when the prisoners first entered the prison, they served their sentences resigned themselves to their orders and lived as happily as possible.

There is a gardener prisoner in the prison while planting vegetables and flowers, and humming a song softly!

The lyrics he hummed were:

The facts are already doomed, the facts are moving along a certain route,

Pain and sorrow do not change the situation.

Nor can any of these episodes be abridged,

Of course, tears don't help, it can't make you work miracles.

So, let's stop shedding useless tears!

Since no one is powerless to turn back time, it is better to look up and look forward.

Learn from the compatriots in this prison, there are many people around us who are always haunted by some unpleasantness that has happened. As a result, yesterday has become a shadow that can never be shaken off. Because of the stubborn refusal to forgive or forget, yesterday's wounds will always be difficult to heal, and the pain will be painful, so that today and even tomorrow will not be peaceful.

People often say, "When the scar is healed, it hurts", which is somewhat derogatory, but as everyone knows, this is actually a way for people to protect themselves. An important reason for people's longevity is that people have a self-regulation mechanism, which enables people to get rid of those unpleasant things or memories that may affect their mood and health in time, and this forgetting mechanism is the key to a person's success and happiness.

In life, there are many people who are forgiving, and when others make mistakes and sincerely ask for forgiveness, most of them will forgive others and forget about it. But many are demanding of a person and never forgive him, who is this person? It's ourselves, yes, ourselves. In deep thinking, many people repeatedly blame themselves: "Why am I so stupid? It would have been nice to be careful at the time. Or, "I'm damned, how can such a mistake happen?" "I'm good for nothing, I'm completely finished."

Regret, blame, and depression will not help with irreparable mistakes, but will hinder new steps forward, and the best thing to do is to forget it and start over.

Although it is very painful to forget the past, the truth is that the past is in the past, the past will not happen again, and you can't turn back time. There is an adage in the West - don't cry over spilled milk. Yes, the milk has been spilled on the ground, what's the use of you crying to death? The wisest thing to do is to calmly accept the fact that the milk is spilling on the ground and pour yourself a new glass.
