Call it our past, baggage, our shadow or anything else, the fact is we can’t really undo our actions. We can’t take back words we have already uttered or our undesirable actions. At the most, we can apologize, repent, regret or even heal over time. The truth remains that our past travels with us wherever we go. Only when we are in darkness, does our shadow merge with it. In such darkness, we may momentarily feel that we have no baggage, but that’s an illusion, because we have not gotten rid of the darkness. Instead, we have hidden ourselves from light.
