The unreality of the past weeks lifted like a fog, but its residue remained. All of the past is like that, but most especially the parts that are out of the ordinary.

About This Quote

The unreality of the past weeks lifted like a fog, but its residue remained. All of the past is like that, but most especially the parts that are out of the ordinary. This quote can be interpreted as a warning or a cautionary tale. If you take Nelson Mandela’s words and put them into context with the situations he was talking about, it can be seen as a warning.

It seems that we’re always thinking about how we’re going to die and what we’re going to do after we die. What we forget is that we’re alive now and if we keep ourselves distracted with thoughts of our distant future, we might forget how to live in the present moment. Perhaps this is why so many people commit suicide.

But, on the other hand, it could be seen as a cautionary tale: When you reach a point where you can no longer reach back and remember your past and all of those things that you used to think were important, then there’s something wrong with your life.
