Why do we get stuck in the past?

Almost all of us often get stuck in the past. We are aware that stuck to past events is in fact an unnecessary situation and that we miss life as we get stuck in it. But we still turn around and see this torment.

What kind of a game of our minds can draw us back to the past and what do you think would benefit us? Imagine how boring and unbearable we would have been if we had seen the same negative things and had the same feelings every time we returned to the past.

For example, imagine a movie and imagine that we open and watch it every day. We always got so tired of watching the same movie that we unplugged the television or computer and turned it off sooner or later. But the film of the past is constantly playing in different versions of our minds in movie theaters, and we cannot leave the film.

For example, we watch the past dubbed in Turkish. The characters speak Turkish, and we think that we haven’t missed a single word. Whatever we have said in the past, whatever others have said, this is a one-to-one version. But then we open the same movie again, and this time the subtitles come into play. “He told me that, and I answered him, bit the question ended,“ he said that to me, but I think he meant, not what he was saying, he meant something else, for sure, ”begins.

In other words, this is a past reading of intentions. Missed messages, missed opportunities, events can completely change the flow of events in our favor to regret the regret that we can not change. Then we start the film again and this time we see that the time is prolonged.

Let’s say the film we watched was a film of resentment that took place ten days ago. Our friend had said a heavy word or acted to hurt us. But we’re also looking at another film that was reassembled and we heard it ten years ago, without even realizing how it happened. The scenes, which did not even coalesce time and space, were arranged one after the other and the film became another film. It is no longer the film of resentment that happened ten days ago, but it became the film of how we were hurt by everyone throughout our lives.

It is useful to clarify that; it is not possible to return to the past and live the scenes again as we are. If we said we can’t go back to the past, so let’s learn from the past. Let’s do a good analysis of the past and not to dream the same dreams both today and tomorrow.

Who knows, perhaps, what we believe to be the result of wrong decisions from our lives is the right ones for us, and we will understand that over time. We hope to get rid of the prison of the past and discover and live the beauties of the present.
