It happens with many people ! They are unable to let go and move on with their lives when they have had some unpleasant experiences in life .I personally feel that they are making it difficult for everyone around them by remaining morose and carrying the past burden on their shoulder all their life.I feel that one should move on in life instead of remaining in the past...

I totally agree. We must live in present. It is no use carrying on shoulders bitter past memories. The failures and unpleasant events in past may be good guide for future. but these must not be an obstacle to pleasant living and future hopes.
Yes one should obviously keep moving but if he has lost his love, it is very difficult to say how quickly he will recover from mourning. Loss of love hits our heart. Physical injury is tolerable and not the mental injury.

Certain events in life leave a deep mark and may change an individuals personality and perception of life itself ! Society too has a way of harping on the old issues and letting the person never forget his/her past which may be the reason why many people tend to live in the past !If one develops a positive mentality, it is possible to come to terms with the past and live a normal life !

Others remind you of past misfortune only if you desire so. If you stop talking about your past events to others and discourage this, they will also forget.

That is true, but I have noticed that many people like to talk about their misfortunes with the idea of lightening the burden which is alright if it serves the purpose, which it seldom does since it only gives food for those interested in gossiping ..

The best strategy is to divert to something else. When Kamla Nehru died, Pt Jawahar Lal Nehru was very sad but he diverted all his attention to freedom movement. That is how he overcame his grief.

Yes thats true, and thats why those people rose to such great heights..one has to firmly put the past behind and move on in life.Talking about the society in general, we see that most people dont want to let go of the past, widows are supposed to live in their husbands memories whereas husbands are expected to marry again at least 'for the sake of the children'....A drunkard who gives up drinking is perpetually reminded of his past deeds and so on...
Every one of us goes through such kind of experiences at least once in our life time, where we feel betrayed by our loved ones or something happens that is traumatic. Most of us are able to put it behind us and move on with life and that should be ideally the case. But many do carry those burdens with them and make those burdens mar their judgement or behavior when dealing with those people even after so many years. Which never repairs the rift in truth, even when they may make it appear as if all is well. This especially is the case between family members!

It is the case of 'Forgive but never let them forget what they did or what happened to them' kind of thing. A widow is supposed to lead her life miserably wallowing in the memory of her dead husband and trying to lead a life of her own and her children. reverse is applied to widowers! A case of double standards again!
We must not think about those happenings of past.In fact we should build our present and our future.

People can remind your past only if you care. If you pay any heed to the irrelevant talk about past, they will also forget. Most people are in habit of speaking out everything to others on slightest closeness. They just need shun this habit and all will be okay.

Yes , in fact I see a lot o youngsters too these days having the same negative attitude when they break up with their boy friends or girl friends.One gets to read so many cases of suicide/crime when there is rejection , which is a worrying trend. Youngsters go berserk when their love affairs dont go the way they want them to...Of course later they might come out of it, but in the mean time they would have wasted some of the most precious months of their life !
Yes True, but i think it goes for all. Such kind of things are hard to overcome no matter what age you are from.
On the contrary I feel youngsters are less into love stuff and more into one night stand. :( :(

Yes that is one example we often see nowadays. The failure to recognize their true feelings and inability to process such feelings in the right manner often leads to berserk and, in many cases, violence towards the other person and self! It is almost like they have never been taught on how to deal with unexpected setbacks in life and how to move on!
Past is past.We should not hold on the past things in our present.Because if we think about our past we are spoiling our present and future one.

Whatever be the evil in one night stand attitude, such youngsters will not be burdened with past. They have a casual approach. Even otherwise, one cannot force relation. some indulge in one side love and consequently are frustrated. All relations are mutual. A practical approach is all that we need.

Its easy to say it but no one can forget the past. There are certain incidences which happen in every one's life and its hard to forget them more we try to forget them more we remember them.But yes ideally its better to forget past to make future better. :)

It is do a lot with the home atmosphere and also the environment they grow up in.But a steady well balanced home atmosphere can definitely overcome any lapse in the environment they grow up in ! I too feel that life is full of setbacks and upheavals , so why not face it like the way it has to be done ...

there is nothing like time which heals everything, so one only has to make an effort to make the natural healing process faster so that we dont waste precious moments of our life grieving..
