Why is that?

I find myself looking at my past more often. This is because I want my future to be better than my past. And to do that I have to learn from my past and act upon those thoughts in the present.

The more I look into those, the more I use the present to get their. The past and future are already manifested in the present, the form may be different however. All I have is the present to look back on, to look foward with; thus, the past and the future are just a way of saying the present, time may not exist at all then.

I look more at the past. I think that you can learn a great deal about yourself and where you want your life to go by looking at events that happened in the past. Also, I don't like the idea of having my future planned to the T. I want a little surprise and spontaneity.

The future, because that is what I have control over. I can look at the past in order to attempt to learn something, to see a pattern, or to see something I should learn to avoid, but it serves my habit of looking AHEAD in time to attempt to guide myself into the kind of life that I ultimately want to live.
On a personal level, my past was not a particularly happy one; and rather than dwell on the unpleasant aspects of the things that make me who I am, I am more interested working my way into a life situation that is happer than what I have gone through before. I can't change the past, and I can't control the future, but for as long as the future exsits--at least theoretically--I will always have choices as to how to conduct my life.

I look more often into the environment, including myself.. cos that's what makes time.. both the past and the future

Well, its kinda hard not to reflect on the past and everything that has happened since I went through it all. I also think about what I would like to happen in the future, I daydream a lot about what could be. Not sure which one I think about the most....I'd say its a tie.

I would say at the past. I have been through a lot in what little life I have had so far. I think back to see if there would be anyway I could have changed all of the bad things that happened to me.

I look more to the past. As Cicero said, "To remain ignorant of what happened before you were born is to remain always a child." Right now we are repeating the last 20 years of the nineteenth century. Could the answers to today's madness be in the history books.

Into the future. My past is gone. I can't change that. But I have control of my future.

No. I'm looking into the future. Because my future is so long and my past is so short. :)
