Can we say : The Past is Perfect ?

Answer 1

No, since perfection is relative. What is perfection to one person, may be a nightmare to someone else. Therefore, there can never be perfection in the past or anywhere else, unless there was no one to judge it.

Answer 2

It depends what you mean. On a personal level as the previous poster said, it depends on each person I guess.
But in a wide sense of the past then yeah I think the past is in fact perfect...it's perfect because what happened happened, whether good or bad. And it's also perfect because I'm pretty sure no-one has travelled in time machines yet. That would ruin the perfection of what the past means.

Answer 3

The past is gone, so it doesn't matter...I knew of this idiot who would only babble on about the past...I say ''so what to the past,'' when this idiot knew of my son's intention to commit suicide, but never warned me about that...my son committed suicide. He's dead now. I don't care about the past that don't exist anymore. What is important is the future and now. Now is the most important time of our lives, because it is only in the present moment that we are actually living and experiencing...and the next most important time of our lives is the future, because we'll be living then too.
p.s. I heard that there's an ''afterlife'' as well.

Answer 4

the past is perfect like finished work when you can change nothing and where everything is on it's place

The past is perfect because it couldn't be any way other than it is. There is no changing the past. It is exactly what it is... complete and unchangeable.
