過去を振り返ることそれ自体は，悪いことではない。人間は振り返ることによって自分を反省し，将来同じ過ちや失敗を繰り返さない糧とする。しかし，振り返りが過去へのこだわりをもたらし，結果，過去にとらわれてしまうと，「いまここ」である現在の心身をむしばむことになりかねない。
Retracing or looking back itself is not the wrong act. We usually reflect on ourselves by looking back at our own past experiences, and turn them to advantage in order not to repeat same mistakes and failures. However, if we dwelt on the past by retracing it and consequently were fettered by it, our mind and body in the present "now and here" could be undermined.
