A man once told me |
That it was important never to forget |
Because the ghosts of our past |
Know every line of our history |
And when we feel lonely |
There is nothing more comforting |
Than a truly happy memory |
Which we have kept alive in a corner of our mind |
Having said this, these memories are not always the best companions |
Constantly living with regrets or remorse can plunge anyone into a state of |
deep and impenetrable sadness |
Observing the world growing up without ageing along with it |
Teaches nothing to a child who wants to learn how to live |
What is the point in keeping hatred and anger bottled up inside instead of |
simply wiping it out? |
Along with its dark memory |
You are surely aware that the past is a fragile creature |
Which must be tamed cautiously |
Because even if keeping it close can be comforting to those in doubt |
The past and its ghosts can weaken those who are already anguished |
So even if it’s true, that we shouldn’t forget |
More than one man has gone mad through remembering too much |
Accumulating too many useless memories inside oneself without sorting them out |
can lead a man into labyrinth from which there is no escape route |
So those of you who are listening, listen well |
Because maybe your ghosts know each other |
And are one and the same |
