The past is over

Sometimes you have to forget about the past and think about the present and the future. If you don’t, all fights will get worked up on and never come to an end. But more than that, you might affect someone else , you might get affected mostly you and your enemy will get affected.

My friends and I were all at the PE field waiting for our coach to decide the teams. We were going to play a 11- a side game. I was put in team A, however I did not want to be in team A because my enemy was in that team. We never play well together!

5 minutes of the game passed and the whole team could sense our teams incompetence. We were already a goal down and we needed to get back in the game. Whenever we get a chance, we never convert it. My enemy and I knew that it was mainly because of the both of us. Finally, the ball was passed to me and I dribble looking for a person to pass it to. My enemy was open and it would have been an easy goal for him if I passed. My angle is tight. Should I pass? Should I shoot? I shoot! Good save by the keeper. I felt the fire inside me burn all the way to my skin, because I missed!

 The score was 1-0 to them. We needed to get back in the game by scoring at least 1 goal. There are 2 miniutes for the game to end, when my enemy got a good through ball and dribbled. I was open and could have easily scored. He dribbles! He shoots! Good save by the keeper.

I the end of the game, I realized that sometimes you have to forget about the past and think about the present and the future. I should not have had any enemies. The whole team knew that the match was lost because of the both of us.

This is just one reason why one should sometimes forget about the past and think about the present and the future. Like Mahatma Gandhi said “an eye for an eye will make the whole world blind. NOW! If anyone wants another reason, here I am. The fact is sometimes you are affected if you think about the past.

 

As the home time bell rang, everybody ran to their busses but I stayed back because I was late I packing my bag. When I was done, I walked out, when I walked out I saw my enemy. He was begging for help in carrying his bag because it was too heavy for him, but I rudely said “no way!!” I did feel a bit sorry for him tough.

The next day, as the home time bell rang, everybody ran with packed bags. When I was done, I tried lifting it, when I realized that it was too heavy for me to lift.  I  desperately was searching for someone who could help me. Then I saw my enemy who looks at me and says, “no way!!” when I asked for help.

I want to conclude with my last reason why one should forget about the past and think about the present and future. Sometimes you and someone else are affected.

When my cousin Revant and Dev  came over to my house to play. We were playing a badminton tournament. The first match was between me and Dev, which I won in a huge margin. Next up for me was Revant, who I again won with. Eventually the finals were between me and Revant. “ We had a long fifty one point game, where Dev was the referee”.

On the score was point – 49 to me, Dev made a big wrong decision, which made it a dues. I was really unhappy with the decision. We broke into a really big argument.Dev felt very angry and punched me. Then Revant stepped into the fight and punched Dev back on his face.

After we cooled down, we did our on job with out talking to each other. I was playing the piano, when I realized, if I would just let go off the game, we would have been playing right now. I then walked over to Dev, and said “I am really sorry can we go play football”. Dev thought for a while. Revant came downstairs and said, come on Dev forget it. Dev screamt  out the word soccer and ran with the soccer ball to the soccer field.

To conclude, I know that it is hard to forget about the past. But if you really hard, everything will be easy and rewarding. I would rather walk  with friend in the dark than alone in the light.
