Response to Future

     Shiyun's post about the future contain many points about how we are unable to fix and change our past; however, we can make decisions that would lead us to a better future.
There is no way I would know what my future will be like, for I have to decide that myself. For every decision that I make in life, there will be a result to things. No one can really change what they have done or go back to the past and start over again. We will also have to look at the road ahead and make better decisions.
     Here, Shiyun states that the future includes many possibilities and every decision we make can lead to a variety of outcomes. She also states that the past could not be changed no matter what we do, and the best solution is to move on and to make better decisions if the ones made in the past led to mistakes. Shiyun's indications are correct. Even if someone tries to remain in the past, they will have to sooner or later face reality and that time continues to move even though they wish that time can stop.
    There is a saying that I have heard of before and it was something similar to this: wounds heal as time pasts, whether they are scars on the body, heart, or soul. I think this somehow relates to the talk about the future because people move on. Even if they want to remain in the past, even if they do not want to face reality, even if they do not want to accept that something has changed, everyone will eventually have to make a decision in what they are going to do.
     On the other hand, trying to remain in the past can also be connected to the future because a future is basically the choices made by individuals when it comes to deciding about what they want to do. Although I do not know if there are things such as fate and destiny, I do not think anyone but the individuals themselves chooses their future.
