Evaluating past

over 7 years

If people's current mistakes (call them fails) tend to decline in importance in the future, does that make the people's current feelings about them invalid? Also, the person of the future does not pay attention to these mistakes (because they don't impact their life anymore), meaning they've changed perspective; why is it that we consider this future person to be capable of evaluating the situation? In other words, why is it that the voices/opinions of our current selves are more important than those of our past selves if what we're evaluating took place in the past?

Past isn't any less important than the future. Its all about perspective.

A huge mistake now could mean little to you in the future, sure. You might even choose, had you had the power, not to correct your mistakes because they ultimately lead to the self you are meant to be. But I don't think that invalidates your current or past feelings nor does it make your future opinion more valid.

Only the ephemeral present exists and any importance you apply to anything is ever-fleeting.

I think the conscience of the current person and the voice of the past victim are what take priority. Everything else is just elements for evaluation.
