the present is built from the past

The past is not the enemy of the present because the present is built from the past. We cannot build the present if we continue to disrespect and erase the past in our lives.

Winston Churchill said "If we continue to allow the past to become the enemy of the present, we will lose our future." The past is not totally that bad. We have so many things to be grateful to God for from the past, We would not be what we are now if the past had not been generous with us.

Of course we cannot say that the past is perfect. But to say that all our mistakes now, all of our sufferings now are brought about by our the past, that is etremely unfair. The past has a gift to offer. It has mistakes from which we can learn from.
If we are humble , we can learn from this mistakes of the past. If we are grateful enough we would be happy for the past is past and the present is a gift from the past.
