My math teacher once told me," If you don't get your foundations right, they will come back to haunt you." I found that irritatingly true. In the years that followed, i realized that numerals were not the only thing that appeared from the past, people too.
Many of the people from my past have actually become a bleak memory or sometimes it would seem like it was probably a small fragment of my wildest imagination. I can safely say that i am not holding on to the past and why, its the best thing to do. Many problems occur because people still keep holding back or even become judgemental because of the other person's past. But what happens when, we are no longer holding to our past but instead holding on the other person's?
As what someone i know would say, "its all in the past". Absolutely true, but how game are we to actually put it behind us? Sometimes we find ourselves even finding our way to it, not that it just comes by our way. Why do we purposely want to get into the emotional mess?
Being highly opinionated towards the other person because of the past is in fact very selfish of us. I think that the true challenge of being in a non-judgemental relationship with anyone is to actually get over the past, the other person's.
Ghosts like apparitions do not stay for very long, it disappears as soon as we get our thoughts straight. Ah yes, the Goddess is not a big believer in ghosts.

I think you mean prejudiced rather than opinionated.
Unfortunately I think sometimes it's easier to say rather than actually do. Here's an (extreme) example, would I be friends someone who was in jail for manslaughter? Maybe. Would I consider being in a serious relationship with them? To be completely honest, probably not. Reason being eventhough it's in the past, it's an act that I find hard to comprehend, let alone accept.
