Old Versus New
I started on something new last two days, something familiar but in a new surrounding and environment. I never really realized how my past experience of this nature was so good that i brought it with me, which was good i guess. but i was so attached to it that i measured the new environment against this old experience, such that i neglected the beauty and goodness of the new, only imposing the old system on the new environment.
This was bad because i was blinded by my own biasness, and the fact was the two environment were distinctly different. i needed to appreciate each on its own, rather than come to the new stage, dragging the old along, and expecting them to be one, because they are just not. wat i’m saying is just that experiences are meant to be cherished, regardless of good or bad, but beyond that, it is time to move on, regardless of good or bad, not living the past in the present, nor living the new in the mentality of the old, but only keeping any lessons learnt (again, regardless of good or bad) and integrating them as part of one’s life.
This way, we can treasure the past beautiful memories, keep them, learn lessons and make them as our own, and appreciate the beauty of the new, learn more lessons from the new and move on. Win-win situation. Life is a constant journey.
