The sun symbolizes the rise and fall, the importance of night and day, summer and winter; in essence, to be equally comfortable while shining and while setting. The moon symbolizes our hidden realities and emotions, shows us how to go through cycles and phases, a reminder of lifes changing nature. Everything we experience we have the urge to label. However, the labels we place on feelings and experiences don't necessarily define them.

The labeling of good vs bad experiences in our head becomes the memory of that said experience. Good is simply a point of perceived advantage and bad is a point of perceived disadvantage formulated as a labeled perception post experience. Good experiences make you happy or motivate you to carry on, bad experiences guides your attention towards what needs change.

Our internal condition bias determines our observation and this 'lens' cannot ever be entirely removed from our experience. It is our emotional reaction to that perception stimulus that becomes the memory of what transpired. Sun rise to sun set, full moon to new moon, yet we cling on to labeled memories as if they are god given instructions that dictate new perceptions so we can easily define our journey and who we are. The realization of that mechanism liberates the self from the identity, and the experience from the label.

Memories are a perception of a past reality, a probable present, and a tool to either change or fixate your future. So use your memories as data working towards the values you hold dear, rather than the identity you hold dear. In short, dont get stuck in the past, unless u really want too.
