Past, Present, Future

Our experiences of the past, the present and the future are perennially incursive upon each other, thus changing our perception of them on a constant basis.

History may remain in the past, unchanged, but our perception of it is contingent upon how we perceive current situations and the potential of the future.

Melancholics put the past on a pedestal, rendering the present as obstinately inferior and the future full of hope for improvement.

Optimists see the present as full of opportunities, filling the future with the highest of ideals and positioning the past as a reference point from which things can only be improved upon.

Pessimists look at the past with pity, sneer at the present with disdain and fill the future with cautious ambitions.

Which one are you?
