IGNORANCE AND WISDOM

The ignorant person said, “I have ruined my past and present.” The wise man replied, “But the future is still intact.” A person’s life doesn’t end with just the past and present. The future is a vital part of life. So, why mourn what’s lost from the past and present when the future remains entirely in your control?

A person might regret what has passed, but the future still lies ahead. If someone doesn’t let their emotions be overwhelmed by the bitterness of the past but instead focuses that energy on the future, they might not only recover what was lost but also potentially gain even more.

The past is gone, and the present is slipping away. The only thing left is the future. So, why mourn the days that are gone or the moments that are passing? Focus your energy on the days still in your grasp. This is not only possible but also the smart choice.

The ignorant person always looks backward, while the wise person looks forward. The ignorant only knows what has already happened, but the wise knows what could still occur. Don’t be ignorant—strive to have your name listed among the wise.

When someone has the choice to be wise and the option to stay ignorant, why choose ignorance? Why remain in darkness when the doors to light are wide open?

Life is a continuous journey, moving from the past to the present and then to the future. A person who remains stuck in the past or present essentially denies the true nature of life. And one who denies reality, in effect, denies themselves. For such a person, changing reality becomes impossible.
