PAST AND FUTURE:-

Wasteful regrets on dead and buried moments:-

Often, we are flown upon the wings of our minds fancy and imagination, to dreams, where we made to shudder at the future possibilities of failures and tremble in hopes of successes and swoon in the expectation of total losses or large profits.


The past really is made up of dead moments and to unearth the buried moments is to live with the dead. We do so when we waste our energies in unproductive and wasteful regrets,  for things we had committed already. The more we remember them, those very vasanas are getting, alas, deeper and deeper fixed into our personality-structure.


When we are not engaging ourselves with the negative pre-occupations of entertaining regrets of the past, we are wandering in the fairy-castles of our fancied future, peopled with ugly fears, horrid dreams, unnerving hopes, and, perhaps, thousands of impossible expectations.  [to be cont------------d]
