Hmm... translating on the fly, my favorite. Hi Zsuzs.
1. Considering the past is necessary. While dwelling on what has happened and now cannot be changed is a bad thing, the classic line of "those that forget about the past are doomed to repeat it" is depressingly accurate. 2. What do you try to remember? Personally, my goal is to remember all the positive things, and try to create memories of the negative things that do not make me upset/depressed/unhappy. The goal is to be able to recall the negative experience, without the accompanying negative emotions. 3. Is your family what one builds? Well, for some of us, family includes biological family, but to a great extend, that's because my family has made an active effort to have a relationship. But I know for most of my friends, biology has nothing to do with family. And that's just fine too.
