Jun 14, 2011 // Mirsad: Nije smisao u tome da mijenjamo prošlost, nego da je razumijemo. Razumjeti prošlost Kosova i Bosne, naprimjer, znači dubinski zaroniti u uzroke i posljedice njihovog stradanja.Nesposobnost da razumijemo sve dimenzije prošlosti, nužno nas vodi u ponavljanje čija tragičnost prijeti da zauvijek uništi supstancu društava izloženih nasilju i diskriminaciji.May 19, 2011 // rusty: Past might be a mirror of who are we and what we are today. It could be a bases on how individual rise from its downfall. Past must be consider as history.
Jun 30, 2010 // Ali: Besohet se ajo cka konsiderojme si e kaluara jone eshte ne fakt perceptimi dhe/ose pervoja jone e koherave te kaluara; se e kaluara nuk mund te ekzistoje jashte perceptimeve/pervojes tone. Prandaj e kaluara mundet/duhet te ndyshoje, perceptimet tona duhet te pasurohen, ndersa pervoja jone te regjistrohet. Me fjale tjera: na duhet te regjistrojme dhe studiojme te kaluaren, dhe te mesojme nga ajo, jo vetem t'i kemi faktet [numra, emra, data] por edhe te kuptojme cka na flasin keto fakte per sjelljen dhe qendrimet tona sot, bile edhe me me rendesi - si keto fakte [dhe sjellja/qendrimet tona sot] reflektohen ne te ardhmen tone.
Jun 29, 2010 // Valon: I think the past cannot change, however our perception of it can. Also, what we learn from it is what we decide what we do with it - the past that is.
Jun 29, 2010 // Martin: The past includes not only dates, numbers, places and persons but also the interpretations of those facts. Interpretations depend on the respective perspective which is usually influenced by the current context. Therefore interpretations of the past can change and thereby the past can change - in that sense.
