Greetings!
Human thoughts is something that cannot be taken out of this life and the funniest thing is that there's nothing no one can do to how other's thought.
Having this, I would like to delve into the topic of the prompt which is all about “past thoughts.”
One thing in life is that, our today's thought would surely become past one day which means the past thought we are currently talking about has once been our present thought and with time, this our present thought would be a thing of the past.
So, for this reason, one must be know what his or her thought is and also manage it so before making and taking it to the public space.
This is because, if our today's thought is not well censored, then it would sure hunt us in the years to come as by then, our thought would have been a thing of the past which we might not really have power over when it's being used against us.
Now back to the context of the prompt before us this evening, I would say that in my own opinion, no one should be held responsible or punish for their past opinions or thoughts and this is because of the fact that bygone is bygone.
So, if there's anything that has taken place in the past, then that thing should be left for the past and now, whatever we now have ot think about in the present should be dealt with in the present.
The reason I am saying this is that, some of our thought is usually in tandem with the current situations and like I said earlier, what we are passing through might be the reason why we are thinking the way we are thinking now, but if things eventually changed and we now have a changed out heart and thought, why then should we be punished for what we have no control of.
I have overtime seen people been denied Visa just because of their past thought or past opinion and if we closely look at this their past thoughts or opinions, one would see and know that these thoughts of theirs was as a result of the frustration of the time when they have the thoughts and opinions which led them to posting on the social media which is now hunting them.
Furthermore, if we allow the mistakes of the past to be hunting us now, then we must be rest assured that what we do today will surely wait for us and hunt us down in the nearest future and this would definitely be the chain which shall continue like that from generation to generation.
So, my own take is that, past thoughts or opinions of ours must not be used to hunt us down, but we must now focus on now and my advice to people is that, they should also be cognizant of what they think about and manage it very well before taking it to the public space.
