    said a simple quote I found to be astonishing; Churchill stated “If we open a quarrel between past and present we shall find that we have lost the future.” At one point in life we are almost always focused on one time zone or another either the past‚ the present or the future. I find almost always that these times zones can either be in sync or incompatible. Yes‚ there may be positive aspects to the past‚ the present or the future but with every positive there just so happens to be a negative that

    firmly believe that our past should not affect us in any way‚ then it would not. If we allow our past to forever haunt us‚ it surely will. But if we learn to let go of our “monsters” and just learn from the past‚ what we have now would be what we want it to be. Many of us are so busy living in the past that we neglect about our now. The present moment is to be savored and not lived haphazardly. We should never allow our past to fully define us nor should we “…let the past steal your present” because

    In “Postcards from Chinatown”‚ the poet examines how‚ in a place that had been renovated as a tourist attraction‚ the past lurks in the shadows of the present‚ which is unauthentic and seemingly all just a performance for entertainment. “An Empty Cinema”‚ on the other hand‚ laments the vanishing of Singapore’s past and heritage‚ likening the past to no more than just a cinematic film‚ where it is just a hologram projected onto a screen. In “Postcards from Chinatown”‚ the poet calls our daily

    TS Eliot and Tradition

    • 1998 Words
    • 7 Pages

    History is often seen as a way of advancing to the next stage and improving the cultural values of the past. However‚ for T.S. Eliot‚ modernity had ruptured its connection to a more vital past and was as a result impoverished. History is instead characterized by regression and ruptures. In his essay‚ “Tradition and the Individual Talent‚” his idea of tradition shows retrogression instead of progression. Eliot argues that “the whole literature of Europe from Homer” (49) is an archive of works affecting

    1. To me the past does matter because that makes you who you are now even though sometimes you try to ignore it your past will always stick by you. For example I didn’t have a happy childhood‚ it was full of arguments and abuses. I learned from my mom’s mistakes to not stick around and let a man abuses you in anyway. Another example losing my brother was probably the worst way to learn to cherish those you have today but that’s the past and somehow some way you learn from your past.   4. According

    empasizes the importance of the present to the future‚ and consequently the past to the present as well as the future. What we have done and what we do affects what is in store for us. Different people have different ways of defining and looking at the past. For some‚ “Past is past.” It is something that already happened. As Mr. Hundert put it‚ “We cannot step into the same river twice. An opportunity lost is lost forever.” The past is something we can not do anything about but which should not affect
