Lets start with a frustration

Why is it when people move on in there lives they feel they need to cut the ties to the past? can we not move on and yet still keep out promises and integrity intact? I understand that when moving on some things are left behind. when you pass a tree you dont bring it with you. but what about the dog that has been with you. do you just leave it behind because you need to go forward? no you keep the dog as it has walked with you and has helped you. so when you move on do not break all ties to the past, as the past is part of your character. it is who you are. - just thinking out loud
