When talking about the present- How much does explaining the past actually matter??

If penning episodes/chapters of the facts based literature is the concern behind the talk, then it is relevant to get into the intricate details or else go on and enjoy the Now heartily.

Virtually not at all. Usually when I’m trying to explain my past to someone, it’s for the purpose of justifying something I’ve done that isn’t justifiable.

Usually when someone asks about my past, they’re seeking information that’s none of their business.

You can analyze the past later on...why not just live in the present for now!?

I guess it depends on if the petson your talking with is likely to fair in your future. Then....some of your past is relevant.

Anything beyond a learning experience shoulder matter.

Everything might be different in the present if only one thing had been different in the past. So there [b]is[/b] relevance.
