You canât run away. The past will be only too happy to chase you.. in absolute, complete, and total earnest. Do you know why? Because theyâre lonely. The past and memories are very lonely things. I donât believe in God. Because he doesnât have a fixed form. The past certainly does exist, even in a world where the future doesnât have a fixed form. Even if itâs being coloured by misunderstandings and delusions, a personâs past canât be anything but the truth as long as he believes in it. If thatâs what you base your actions or your way of life on, isnât that like being god?
