Every story is proof of the existential awareness of the writer. It makes the reader think of the life that we all pass through and seeing it with the eyes of another gives the reader a chance to perceive the writer's life .Thereby influencing his future actions.
Act defines a person, aspiration does not. I know it makes me into a hard-core existentialist. But it the only one theory that has intersected with what had been in mind forever. This may of course, throw a wedge into the 'nature-nuture' theory, tilting me very into the 'nature' side of things.
A new-born baby cannot be called an individual; A person is not defined at birth. The choices he makes and thereby his actions define who he is.You cannot blame your genes for what you are. There is a state of ambivalent freedom which stimulates or influences choice that precedes every action. A freedom which is responsible for one's actions and concurrent with one's values.
Why do people always say "forget the past an on with the future"? Doesn't our past delineate who we are? Every step forward should be taken with a glance backward.
So what i am saying here is; dwelling on one's past in not essentially stunting, rather can provide a composite view of things and impose responsible freedom in future choices.
