I received these words from a friend....
There comes a point in your life when you realize
who matters,
who never did,
who won't anymore...
and who always will.
So, don't worry about people from your past,
there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

While agree that people from the past have helped shaped me itnto the person I am today but there are reasons why some people need to stay in the past. I also believe people come into your life at certain points for certain resons and not all are ment to stay a part of your life forever.

I think the term evil would be stretching my comment a bit far.
I will say, if you have ever experienced true gut wrenching pain, you can truly appreciate the relief you feel when that pain abates, or goes away completely. Then, you are able to remember the joyful memories and really feel that joy again.

I like the way you think. I wonder if anyone exists who has not felt pain? Does everyone's pain have to be equivalent to be felt?
By the same token, are there those who have never experienced goodness? And does goodness have to be experienced on the same level to be felt?
I believe I should not drink whiskey.

One needs to understand the difference between good and evil, happy and sad, to be able to appreciate them don't you think?
If not, the potential to take everything for granted, is much higher and much more probably

It would have been a natural assumption that a "friend" and "words of wisdom" may have had the OP's endorsement, if so that would have been a point at which we would have had an agreement. If not then it is sad that on this issue also we may seem to beg to differ.

Without a point of reference we are doomed to repeat past mistakes. While not LIVING in the past, I have to REMEMBER it in order to not screw myself up again the same way.

its very important to remember when the grass was green as to not make the same mistakes again. theres no possible way to just "forget" the past. thats not how a mind works. it is important not to bring up the past to future dates. no one likes hearing someone whining about their ex.

Does the fact that someone else's pain is greater than yours, make you feel you pain less?

I've got friends who have been in my life for a long time, friends who were in my life for a season, and friends who seemed to just pass through as quickly as they came.
God puts people in our lives for a reason; either we're going to learn something from them or teach them something, we're going to help them through a tough time in their lives or they're going to help us through one.
When we're really, really blessed, we will meet those friends who are there, no matter what and they're a joy to have in our lives. They stick around and we come to know what REAL friendship is. Passing friends and acquaintences are a dime a dozen, but true friends who will go the distance with us are the rarest and most precious gems we can ever be blessed with.

Hey Gary! Its good to see you I like what you had to say and its oh so true! No matter how difficult or challenging a person is to deal with, I also believe they enter our lives for a reason, either to help us learn or for us to help them learn something. Just a few years ago I didn't realize that, but now I do ~

Well, people base their life in whatever they feel is
the right stuff for them; some base their life in one
quote from their parents...others on a poem....another
group base it on religion. Guess what? Nobody has the
right to judge them. We are individuals and as such we
find solace in different ways.
