All the efforts of human beings are for the good of their future, even if they are not aware of it. Since it is impossible to change the past, no one goes into such a search and effort. However, it can be tried over past mistakes in the past. Being able to see and control the future may seem like a very useful and guaranteed solution, but it can lead to discouragement from instincts contrary to human nature. A person who has no goal for the future has no reason to live. Since all our complaints are about our regrets, controlling the past is the same as building the future in our hands.
We can give an example of something from the inside of a student’s head about his life. For example, a student took an academically very important exam, but he was depressed because he did not pass as he wanted. If we consider that the reason why he is depressed here is that that exam is affecting his future, someone who has the ability to change the past need not worry about it. If that student could only see the future, he could see nothing but negative consequences that he could not change.
If we consider it not only from the perspective of changing things, but as seeing and having knowledge, seeing the past becomes a much more reassuring option than seeing the future, since the desire to see the future activates the instincts of survival.Of course, there may be subjects where the sense of curiosity for the future is dominant, but when we look at the general picture, it is a very possible request that the uncertainties of the past are more and that people want to know where they came from.
Some arguments defending seeing the past say that seeing the past can be helpful for people to learn from their mistakes. It is also certain that someone who has learned from his past and will not repeat the same mistakes again will have a lower probability of having a bad future. A person who has the opportunity to see what is right and wrong in his previous preferences can also make some close predictions about his future, so seeing the past can be defined as a kind of opening the night veil.
To sum up all these ideas, in conclusion, to think that seeing the future will have a positive effect on the present would be like believing in a low probability. At the same time, it is a better choice to be sure of the past rather than the future in order to live our present with the necessary ambition and effort.
