Because people do things and later regret.
People will feel unconfident of themselves and not try too hard at all but after some years, they'd realize their potentials and tell themselves that they should have done better... They should have not been suffering from consolations. People are aware of the possibilities once they realized they did something wrong in the past.. That's why...
Been there.. Done that...

Because there is the great fear that the past will become the future. The past traps you because it is fixed and it tricks you into overlooking what can be changed by swallowing up all your attention in regrets and fear. The past is known, the future is not. We look for our future in our past or we shape our future by dwelling in the past, the only way to get anywhere is to wrench our gaze into the moment. because if you dwell on the future you still don't get anywhere cause you are so busy dreaming you don't get around to doing. We need to get away from the two realms that involve thought - past and future to the one realm that involves action - present and the other two will take care of themselves.

Because the past is normally the foundation of the future.

Older people like to relive their past because that was when there were many possibilities and more excitement. They may no longer have much to look forward to.

yeah more likely it's regret or something nasty like that
but sometimes, our present reminds us of our past...our 'dark' past...
