An individual’s past can deeply affect them and what path they are destined to choose on the long road of life. On one hand, one can allow their past to consume their life, so much that they choose to live their life in utter agony and despair faced with the guilt, the blame and the “what if’s…” They are simply unwilling to accept their harrowing past.
