Why do people even care about what did you did in the past if it clearly exerts zero influence over your current self? This will never click with me

>>81747124 (OP)
you and everything you are, are literally the sum of your past

>>81747135
Or are we simply tied to every current moment?

>>81747124 (OP)
Many people's pasts indicate what they'll do in the future. If someone had been arrested multiple times for robbery they are likely to rob again.

People don't change. If you are a bad person by age 10, you'll continue to be that way for the rest of your life.

its true, africans have a saying
you can't be more than what you are
sure you can change your actions but you're still a bad person at your core

This but unironically GEEEEEEEG

It's a natural mechanism that keeps you from breaking the rules again.

If you take good actions, you are a good person.

so what the person that was doing all those bad things is just magically gone?
what situation could we press you into before you do it again?
i'm not a moral fag thoughbeit im just thinking logically here.
sure you're a "good person" but really you're not because all the bad shit you did and the people you hurt are still out there hurting from the pain you inflicted.
like one of those bullies that suddenly became nice.
i would say you are worse now because you have essentially....camoflauged yourself from jugdement

>>81747267
you seem resentful that someone you once hated has changed for the better while you have the remained the same miserable faggot

>exerts zero influence over your current self?
Literally impossible. Everything you did and do is an extension of your personality and character
>I was immature
>I changed
All copes. Under the right circumstances you'd do the same again
