the future we provide

When we think of things that have passed, they cannot be altered in anyway except in our minds and how we feel about them. As we know, we have the ability to remember things such as numbers, places, people and images. These type of things we store in our minds are reflect on them at other times. They make up our memories.

As humans, we can only remember and make memories of things we come into contact with and are exposed to. If we haven't had any exposure of certain things, we cannot have any understanding of their nature or existence for that matter. Since this is true, and we have a finite amount of time to be alive, we also live by memories stored by others in books, songs, drawings and nowadays all types of digital format.. Memories of sickness, hardship, difficulty, discovery and many other such things.

With this already learnt and proven (over time) memories of how our surroundings act around us, we learn and progress on what we know. Sometimes we still make mistakes even though we know what to expect and we discover again what was learnt previously on a firsthand basis.

Looking further, we can notice distinct patterns with relation to people across our worlds. Some of our technologies were different, but we all progressed in different areas. We can say that the people in Europe were the first to record history and philosophize etc, but that is what we know of what was recorded. However, we do know that the rate of learning increases exponentially over time and where we were previously, we find ourselves in a totally new situation, where we find that we can go anywhere, do what we want and the possibilities are almost endless.

Looking back we notice of the deficiencies of our past generations and the capabilities and we sometimes think what if they had what we have, what would the outcomes be? Well, i feel that is exactly what we can do. We need to make the most of what we got, and use the past as a guideline in terms of how we go ahead in life.

We need to keep searching, keep living for who knows what our future holds except for the past which we will provide them with.
