It does, if you can go back to the future.

The only instance where this is true is when something is subject to the statute of limitations

You have been posting a ton of 13-year-old-ish touchy-feely stuff....this is perhaps the most foolish of them.
I can Assure you that forgetting the past Dooms you to repeat it.

The past should have any power over the present moment. Doesn't for any other species.

To a large extent human beings operate from memory and memory is useful, however, situations may present themselves in which our repertoire of responses prove to be inadequate.

Time is a social construct and a very useful one that enables us construct ordered systems. The past exists only as a memory and the future is a mental projection, all of which are useful.

I keep trying to tell people this but they insist that it does. That's why we have to "fix" the past. SMH

Terribly wrong. Our perception of reality and our cognitive maps are all based on past experience. experience

What about PTSD?

Please pass that on to politicians
