Contexts have been established over time. Some of them can be forgotten as people knowing them in detail cannot live forever in the world. With some faded away, new context can appear as some conditions disappear, which may have restricted the emergence of the new. Thus it doesn’t keep completeness.

Some say that it is misinterpretation, but misinterpretation can be a way to develop theory. Information is storaged and difficult to be forgotten in the world of the first quarter of 21st century. Even minute behaviour of the past is put in record. That leads to unforgetableness of the world.

Remembering previous sense is difficult for people in general, some portions are at least forgotten. Remembering the previous sense could in some case unsmoothen the current sense. Especially what has impressed intensely captures one for a long time.

As the example of forgetting, when one got quarrel with another, and at the same they would have anger. In some cases as time passes, they may not continue to have the same degree of anger with before, and they may progress their friendship after a while. Some factors override what has happened, or others bring them back to the friendship, and so forth.

Forgiveness lets one to restart from what one has done in the past. When it comes to punishment, it can play the role somewhat of forgiving by receiving it. Going through the punishments that society indicted is to go forward. Unless one tolerates self, it may move to the destruction of oneself, not justifying the act. For forgiving others, it should not be the case that the system or people surrounding them doesn’t pressure victims to forgive(1).

If one can move back to the past and correct what one thinks wrong, they cannot move forward as every tiny piece of the wrong is tried to be found.

What has occurred cannot be back to the state that wasn’t done(2). Even if one tried to undo everything back to the beforehand, the trace of being done may remain in the world and one’s mind.

As regards freedom, it also feels that it is a topic of tolerance. To what extent the environment can tolerate. It cannot be said in just one sentence that the current epoch doesn’t allow tolerance compared with the previous one as some may guess that some domains now became flexible in dealing with difference.

In terms of economy, they prefer to maximize profit by limiting the possible sphere into more profitable reality. In society in general, they would like to avoid possible risks in similar way. Whether instructed clearly or not, it becomes difficult to behave in terms of avoiding risks. At least at the first quarter of 21st century, locals are not able to talk frankly to the pupils of their district such as greeting (assume pupils walking on their way to school in the morning) as they are, supposedly, regarded as strangers from the perspective of children.

On forgetting, as you forget, you can move forward in some case. Not forgetting makes us stop at one place as you continuously think about it for the coming moments. The transition of thinking from the current to the developed takes place when newer one comes into mind by putting the present one to, more or less, the rear line, or it can be said in parallel.

A progress takes place often as a leap from convention. In order to create that leap, one has to innovate the present cases. The originality or uniqueness of its ideas is born by mixing their ideas in mind with the current ones in society, or it may be that one pushes the former ones (the ideas in mind) to the front. In order to develop, it needs a careful consideration so that it can retain robustness and resilience to overcome a number of obstacles.

Born in the same age and grown in the similar environment, things become similar than being different. The difference that is witty and has robustness and resilience. Expanding a little difference to the grown, than being in the established frame. Some people may lose their uniqueness, moving to imitate others by their own choice.

Being obsessed with the past traditions with its values decreased, it is not going to be supported by society. Although the one with value is being evaluated even if it has long history since it was generated, it needs to catch up with the changing social perspective.

In community, there’s a certain standard shared. People may feel what is expected within the community as such that how one is expected to behave. Those behaviours are to give one’s response in communication with others. Knowing the supposition, one may behave in a way that is slightly detached from the standard. Gradual expansion of the current standard broadens the sphere.

Progressing gives hope. Giving the impression of progress makes people feel that there would be better consequence than the present circumstance. Installing new, for instance, product to society brings about convenience, in the meantime it could cause downside too.
