Does where we come from determinate where we will go? I'm thinking about this for some time now. Does our history condition our future choices? The things we did in our past are a cautionary tale for our future. Maybe.
We can learn from our mistakes and make different mistakes in the future. But what got us to make those mistakes, maybe it is a part of us. Maybe all of the wrongs that we do are just the different faces of a part of us. Do we change? People don't change, they are who they are. They can change the way they demonstrate who they are. But we stay the same. We get lost some times but when ready, we return to ourselves. What we did is a prediction on what we will do?
I hope it's not. I hope that sometimes we find things that makes us want to be different, makes us want to change, and grow, and be better. Maybe those things find us. Maybe they need us as much as we need them.
Sometimes.
When you meet someone, what they did is how you know who they were. They complete a puzzle of themselves. But who are they now? Is what they do in the present what really matters? What you do now is the result of what you have learned from who you were. But it takes so much to see the uncertain now instead of the clear past. By default we want to believe the easy thing. Sometimes the easy thing is the right thing. Other times, we just hope that it's not.
I'm scared because people can't change.
