{*The "Past" we Choose To see*}

The problem with thinking in terms of the “past” is in the fact that humans tend to remember the supposed “past” in accordance with what they choose to focus upon. This is why I feel that those endless chain of television court programs present people remembering whatever facts tend to make them “innocent” and in the supposed “right.”

I no longer feel that all those people are lying. I now feel that people remember what they want to remember. Usually people tend to remember whatever facts make them out to be in the supposed “right.” We cannot trust the supposed reality of what one person may choose to reveal about his or her supposed “past”. Unless there are at least three people who shared the same event in question, so that they can either verify or add supplemental facts that the others did not absorb, truth can be extremely relative.

For example: Anyone of you can relay a story from your “past.” If you are being honest about what you say happened the best we can hope to intelligently believe is that you are being honest about the “past” in accordance with what you are choosing to focus upon. Chances are another person who shared the event in question may supply additional information that may very well tend to provoke us to doubt your credibility as a relayer of “truth.”

Should you automatically believe any story I may tell about my “past” or “present?” Should I automatically believe you because you “seem sincere?”

With all the conflicting supposed “truth” being shared from around the world it can be easy to see that what we call the “past” is highly subject to the “past” we choose to remember and that is, most probably, much different than the “past” that is the absolute truth.

Who can truly say how what we call the past, present and future of this “reality” would appear if our minds were functioning at their full potential. The very prospect is quite exciting to me.
