unreliable memory and backward movement

Memory is always of the past. There cannot of course be a memory of the present. And memory is most unreliable. Inaccurate recording, emotional disclourations, later modifications, and incorrect reproductions make it unreliable. Therefore one need not believe in the past.
They correctly say that the past is dead and gone. Be in the present. Do not go to the past. But even otherwise how can one go back to the past? Impossible! If you do it, i.e., even if it is possible, it would be a fresh journey in the present. Going backwards is always a fresh movement, a new forward movement. Therefore, backward movement is a new forward movement. It is always ‘forward in time’. ANY BACKWARD MOVEMENT IS A FORWARD MOVEMENT IN TIME
