You Can’t Change Your Past

These days, I keep coming across the word "determination" so often that I wonder if it is something like a sign from God.
 
Because of that, the other day, I was in Utsunomiya, the city famous for gyoza dumplings, walking through a town full of gyoza restaurants; I thought to myself, "I feel Utsunomiya has a strong determination to make popular the city as a gyoza town.”
 
One of the strongest examples of determination I have felt came from watching a recently released film called "The Flash." They express the determination that the past cannot be changed.
 
The DC Comics heroes in the movie, the Flash, Batman, and Supergirl, all have dark pasts. They all struggle daily with fears, insecurities, and traumas they wish they could erase from their memories.
 
The Flash, in particular, can transcend time and space, so in the movie, he goes back in time and tries to change the events that led to his traumatic and tragic incident.
 
If only he hadn't said those things.
If only he hadn't done those things.
If only the incident hadn’t happened at that time.
 
He could liberate himself from this psychological pain.
 
But doing so would change everything—his current life and identity.
 
So, he has to accept his past, uplift himself, and move on. The incredible power displayed by DC Comic heroes is truly captivating.
 
Everyone has their own past. You’ll probably have some regrets about your past. Even so, I feel that I can look forward to the future just by having a strong determination that I can’t change the past.
 
And I am sure that "determination" is not something you make for yourself, but it comes naturally when the time is right.
 
Apart from the determination thing, am I the only one who feels that “the multiverse setting” is somehow convenient for making a script?
 

My thanks to Tony for help with the editing.
