What is the moral of this Roshan... keep moving forward and don't look back too far into the past.. this reminds of some of the memories of distant past which has changed beyond recognition due to climate change or " development"
I think the moral is something like everything eventually ends but sometimes it's all about which eyes you choose to see with, and that you can mourn for the past even as you move in. But I also leave it up to everyone to take their own moral from it :-)
thanks for the reflection. I sympathize. We lose a lot in life, although we gain more.
I think a lot about a quote from an American environmental writer who bemoaned the loss of childhood experience, when two boys could float down a river in a canoe for days without any encumbrance or trouble. He was writing about Wisconsin - or maybe the Mississippi river. But that experience is indeed lost forever and seems very alien already.
