About This Quote

This quote means that we are so strongly influenced by our past that we would remember our past experiences long before the very first experience. We know that this experience is going to be painful or joyful or both. We have already made our choice of what kind of experience it is going to be, even before it has happened. Those first moments of understanding will be more like a replay of those previous moments, vivid and clear even though they will seem like they are happening for the first time. We make our decisions long before the events actually happen.
