Absolutely, i agree with you bro.

Can anyone please guide me on this essay topic: ‘The past’ is a permanent dimension of human consciousness and values.
I’m not able to phrase what all points should be included in this topic. So kindly guide me through this. And also if possible, kindly provide me the model essay on this topic.
Thanking you.
It means some people often fears by thinking his/her unforgettable past….. So you should write this topic in that manner…. Further adding, we have to cherish our past, and live in present… So that our future won’t get hampered….
