One of them, the future, is anti- cipation, eagerness and expectation, but it is what has already been that molds the human being. Past experi- ences are merely echoes of the soul, they are reflec- tions, expressions of oneself. These experiences cannot be disregarded nor can they be shrugged off as being irrelevent to todays events. Rather, they cangbe thought 'lof as mirrors, reflecting back to us knowledge that we might some- day need. One has only to reach in and draw it out. With the passage of time, however, the specifics of the events become blurred and are soon forgotten. But the character which they have formed will hopefully have made all the reflections worthwhile. ., 5 H, N Y1.'-g in may 4 4
