[Voice] Puzzle II
[Guess who's been reflecting on various things since waking up and all of that jazz..]
The past is a curious thing. No matter how hard one desperately seeks to escape it or keep it from affecting just who you are... it's still there and it still can influence you, you views, your personality... everything about you.
People can change, this much is true. But how much? One can not actually change their past. No matter how much they crave to, it remains to haunt them.
A person can claim to not fear their past or their past actions, while actually still being held very much in the grip of terror over it affecting them once again, allowing that fear over it to affect their current actions, despite any claims that they've dealt with it and it doesn't control them any longer.
And while a precious few can actually place their past actually in the past and not allow it to haunt them, have actually moved on from it... what of those who still remember their past deeds? What if they can't let go of those actions themselves? Because sometimes its not just our pasts which haunt us and affect our lives and our views... some times the past actions of others can have a ripple effect, touching many. And people tend to judge others by the actions they've seen.
Those impressions are just as hard to shake off without considerable work...
Some reside in darkness, while claiming to to be free of it. Sometimes it is easier to lie to yourself than face the truth of things.
