Reminder (largely to myself) that

“I do not want to change this thing about the past”

and

“I would like to prevent this kind of thing happening in the future”

are beliefs that can coexist.

The question of whether you want to change a thing in the past is, practically speaking, irrelevant (as this is not possible)

and can therefore coexist with any belief you have about the future

(which your present self CAN influence, and is therefore what matters).

Thank you for listening.
