Looking back ,Walking forward !!!

I have just returned after spending time with the people staying in the so called "BASTI". The talks share with them made me to think on this quote "NO LOOKING BACK ONLY WALK FORWARD", made me reframe on this phrase. Many of you might agree and disagree too but probably the experience of mine with them and many people, myself in my life realise that yes it is true that if you look back and then walk forward you will climb you ladder much faster and there will be spirit which will keep you focused in marching forward and forward to reach your destiny.
All of us in our life has some bad experiences or tragedies.And only the one who has the positive will-power and attitude overcome these and walk forward.You definitely take a step forward to forget these things and keep only positive energies around you to move only in positive direction.But i strongly feel that if you totally forget your past experiences then you definitely might not be able to realise where you should be in your life. So only i say looking back and then walking forward.
I met this girl "priya" who had lost her parents in the Gujarat riot and came to Bombay knowing nothing.She found a shelter in one home who took care of her.Today she turned 16 year old she loves everyone in that home and does not want to leave this place but then she has that memories of riots which she faced.She says to me that i will never forget it and don't want to forget it as this keeps me realised that my new home is so beautiful and the people are the ones to whom i have to return all the happiness and love in life by doing something for them. At the same time she says that she wants to be activist who will make the people who are part of riots to understand that don't ignite these things as there are innocent people like me who bares all the consequences.This statement of her really touched me so much that it made me go emotional.I know reading this or listening these things from a small kid like her makes you feel that it is ok these are emotions and when she will grew up she will forget all this. I say only the future will prove who is right. I just want to put stress on looking back and walking forward.
Look at the people who are fighting for the Bhopal gas tragedy case. They are the ones who are the victims of it and if they wanted they would have forgotten this and moved forward in their life. This would have brought halt to this case and no justice. They are fighting and moving ahead in this case as they are looking back and feel that pain which they went through that day when they met with tragedy.
If we all look into our life then we will find so many cases like this and probably can relate to it much better. It is also true that when you forget your past you at times lose all your directions and feel that i will accept the way things are going on, this surely means that you are running away from everything. All you guys keep the spirit of fight and you will make it what you want even though the whole world is against you.
So keep looking back and walk forward. All the best !!!!!!!!!!!
