Let the funeral take place and then look forward

Looking ahead in life is so important

The word Life without the "f" in it reduces it to a Lie.

We are all adept in doing post mortems of the past rather than looking ahead. The past disturbs us to such an extent that we forget that we live in the present and have to look ahead for the future.

Life per-se has three distinguished characteristics. Forget, forgive and go overboard  to a world of fantasy/ies where we strongly believe Good days are on the way. We forget the  past , resist and live in the present and hope for a bonanza in  the future. Let us remember our past has bought us to the present state but   aim for a windfall  on a platter in the days to come.

Self analysis is a virtue. Let us analyse why the past was dreadful, why are we dicey on the present and hopeful of the future. Past is experience, present is an education and the future is for execution . Let us not do mere self analysis but let us be self critical of ourselves and I guarantee you that once that these are done and done away with, let's welcome the future . We live on hopes and dreams , let us do some self analysis, being self critical (laugh at ourselves cynically) and then the hopes and dreams for the future is just what you and I or you were looking for.

The blood in my veins would vouch for the veracity of a self confessed statement. May the days ahead be days of living in a paradise.
