This chapter examines the first of two serious counterarguments from lived experience against the existence of the past: the fact that if the past exists, all the horrible events of the past will never really “be over”. To answer this challenge, three approaches are presented: First, the life of Viktor Frankl is discussed, who affirmed the existence of the past although he had lived through horrible experiences due to crimes committed against him and his family by the Nazis. Second, the idea that all lives are good at all times—not ideal but still containing more good than bad—is presented as a solution. Third, the option is presented that the grace of God might change the past for the better; even though the idea that all lives are good at all times is enough to evade the counterargument of this chapter, this third approach is still presented as an interesting way of thinking, in line with the ideas of Alfred North Whitehead.
