The untrained minds are being conditioned and determined by the remembrance of the past desirable and undesirable, pleasant and unpleasant, happy and unhappy, or good and bad experiences to think, behave, desire, act and react in the present moment now, constantly missing and longing towards the past experiences that were desirable, pleasant, happy or good, while continuously being disturbed by the past experiences that were undesirable, unpleasant, unhappy or bad, influencing the relationships and interactions with the others in the present, as well as projecting/anticipating into the future longing for experiencing the similar desirable, pleasant, happy and good experiences, while rejecting towards experiencing the similar undesirable, unpleasant, unhappy and bad experiences, full of tension and anxiety derived from aversion and defensiveness or self-protection.
It's not about trying to erase or forget all the past memories of all kinds of pleasant/unpleasant experiences, but it's about the ability of being unattached towards all the past desirable/undesirable experiences and live in the present without being conditioned or determined by the past happy/unhappy experiences influencing one's relationships and interactions with other beings in the present, being free from missing and craving towards something 'nice' that doesn't exist in the present, being free from fear and aversion towards something 'not nice' whether it's existing or non-existing in the present.
Many people who have been through broken relationships in the past, and are continuously being affected and disturbed by the past undesirable/unpleasant/unhappy/bad experiences of the broken relationships, will more or less be determined by the past experiences to influence how one thinks, behaves, desires, acts and reacts in the new relationship with somebody else in the present, full of tension and anxiety being over-powered by defensiveness/self-protection being in the new relationship. Oneself is not peaceful while generating unnecessary tension into the new relationship, for being unable to be relaxed and immersed into the new relationship with some other people in the present even when other people are being genuine and loving towards oneself. There's no peace in this kind of relationship where one or both party is being conditioned or determined by the past undesirable relationship with some other people.
There's this thinking in the mind, "Oh, I am a victim of other people's selfish unloving and wrongful behavior. I was so nice and loving to the person in the relationship with me, but this is what I got in return. I am ill-treated. I am hurt. I am broken. I am vulnerable. That's why I feel like this and behave like this. I deserved sympathy and empathy and loving kindness from other people. I need to learn how to protect myself from being hurt again." This mind is not free, even though there might be many people think and believe that by showing sympathy and empathy and loving kindness towards this 'suffering' mind will relieve the pain in this mind, and this mind might feel 'better' and 'loved by others' via receiving sympathy and empathy and loving kindness from others, but it doesn't take away the ignorance in this mind, unless the mind starts to see the truth of what is going on in the mind.
Some minds also try to redeem what they think they deserved in return for all their love and sacrifices that they had put out in their past broken relationship while being in the new relationship with somebody else. Some minds even redirect their frustration and anger that they had been accumulated from their past broken relationship towards the person in the present relationship with them.
Be free.
