MEMORY:
MORE ME

This does not necessarily mean that I am "attached" to the past, and hence I'm suffering from not "letting go" the past. On the contrary, I do my best to take everything into account. The negative events, feelings, thinking, other negativity and so on, are not necessarily "bad things", either. I accept them, I accept the fact that they exist- and there's no need for me to fear recalling the negative events and aspects of life would do myself harm. This is what I personally consider being realistic, but this is only a code for myself. What others want their lives to be is their business.

>>>EXACTLY! Three of my favorite good examples of that basic concept that the past is important are:

George Santayana:
Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Pearl S. Buck:
One faces the future with one's past.

David C. McCullough:
History is a guide to navigation in perilous times. History is who we are and why we are the way we are.

Edward Gibbon: (author of “Decline and Fall Of The Rpman Empire”)

I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know no way of judging of the future but by the past.

And a few more:

Etienne Gilson:

History is the only laboratory we have in which to test the consequences of thought.

Gustave Flaubert:

Our ignorance of history causes us to slander our own times.

Karl Marx:

History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.

Kurt Vonnegut:
History is merely a list of surprises. It can only prepare us to be surprised yet again.

Mark Twain:

To arrive at a just estimate of a renowned man's character one must judge it by the standards of his time, not ours.

Maya Angelou:
History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.

Norman Cousins:
A library, to modify the famous metaphor of Socrates, should be the delivery room for the birth of ideas—a place where history comes to life.

It depends on how one looks at it and what it involves.

I do not think that the opposite of being open to all the possibilities is being "attached" to the past. I will never let go and I will always do my best to remember everything that I can remember-
MEMORY:
MORE ME

I agree. We should remember everything but if it is currently harming one's sense of direction in life, we should try to let it go, don't you agree? Again, not forget it ocurred but learn from it as an experience. Maybe I am misunderstanding you. Let me as you a question, are you still upset with Lotus? Do you dislike her? I am trying to understand where you are going with this. I am just looking at all the angles.

True. Learning experiences... Living and learning. Going through the motions of life.

D We shouldn't fear recalling negative events! We shouldn't fear anything.

As for the "Aquarian inquisitiveness", I must say that it's probably why Aquarius comes as the second after Scorpio when doing detective, investigative work- because the Scorpio way is simply better, in short and simple terms.

Therefore I'm not proud of the "Aquarian inquisitiveness". I want to moderate my style and make it more low-profiled, and more prudent.

---

Just my thoughts. I agree that a Scorpio is much more low-frofile and more prudent when it comes to being the detective, per se. However, and I work with an Aquarian... she is my right hand. Aquarians are very friendly and tolerate a lot, which is something I admire.

Besides, don't many of us here believe that "the past, the present and the future are one"?
