Question

How, according to the poet , should we deal with the past ?

Answer 1

yes we should deal with the past but if our past was bad because we learn and we can be perfect by seeing our mistakes and for future we wouldn't do that type of mistakes that we did in the past

Answer 2

Answer :

In the poem 'Start Where You Stand' by Berton Braley, the poet suggests a practical way of dealing with the past. According to the poet, we should not  remember our past mistakes and setbacks, as they can prove to be a hindrance in achieving our future goals. This is because if we keep on remembering our past we would never be able to start afresh. We should, thus, forget our past loss, suffering and pain and move on in life.
