One of the challenges in life is learning to accept people with their history.  There were situations before us that alter the way people react to situations today, in work, friendships and relationships.  The way we respond to situations today is affect by what we experienced in the past.  Our past shapes us and those we encounter.  I know sometimes we react in a situation based on the past not the present.  No one wants to have their past brought up forever, however we also can’t ignore the past and keep making the same mistakes.  We can learn to be understanding, forgive our own past mistakes, and accept others past mistakes and both try to grow beyond them.  Who we are is based on where we have been and what we have decided to bring with us from our past.  This makes up our person and helps determine our future.
