Reminiscing

by Christine Joseph

The past. .
the unchangable events of one's life
a so-called "learning experience"
what a crock of complete crap it is
to reminisce on the things that
influence the person that you are
today
but what good is reminiscing about the past?
Bad memories. .
good memories. .
all come floating to the surface
a great man once said
to know your past
is to know your future
This is true indeed
as humans we make numerous mistakes
over the course of not only our personal history
but HUMAN history
here lies the importance of learning from one another
so that we may not make the same mistakes
repeating our wrongs
Reminiscing
quite a paradox it is.
