Not So Fast

I've learned recently that you don't have the right to say "The past is the past" unless you've learned from the past. Most of the time that people use this handy quote is when they've done something wrong....and it's hurt someone they care about...but they are getting tired of having to deal with the consequences of that wrong action...so they conveniently say, "The past is the past. Why can't we move on?"

Moving on is a luxury only earned by doing whatever you have to do to rectify the wrong you've done and prove that you've truly learned something from it - enough not to do it again.

I'm just sayin'....
