Why does the past intimidate people?
Why do harsh events continue to affect a person’s way of life? Is
there a way to continue with a healthy life without having to reflect
on what is already dealt with?
Yes, there definitely is a way to get
rid of such thoughts. If you ask yourself if you can get over with
what is already dealt with, you must also ask yourself if the
situation has really been resolved or not. Guilt and shame are the
two major feelings that play a part in determining whether you felt
guilty or ashamed by any past incident. If you still feel the same
way, then you must work to resolve the matter, otherwise it will
continue to haunt you.
Take the example of a child who has
scored poor grades in the exams. If the marks were called out in the
school in front of everybody, the child may become upset for a while.
However, this situation is particularly dangerous when you look at
the future course for this youngster. Chronic depression could be a
repercussion of such a situation, because the individual was made to
feel guilty and ashamed.
Resolving the matter has to come from
within. You have to work proactively at digging out the roots of the
problematic situation and changing your self-image. Just facing the
issue often gives you the confidence you need to forget about it.
Once you have come to terms with something, it cannot hurt your
pride.
