Past is about loss, grief, guilt, disappointments, sadness, bitterness, disenchantment, disillusion, regrets, and future is about fear, anxieties, dreams, uncertainty.
Past is history; future is a mystery. Past sits upon our conscience and torments us. Future is a dark gloomy alley about which we know nothing. In contrast, the present, the Now, is a clean slate....
