There is a time for planning and you need to make sure that your efforts are orientated in the right direction but it doesn't require obsessive thought. The future is made in the present moment. The past brought you to where you are now - find gratitude there and grow from it. For what purpose? The only real, wholesome thing we can do with past experiences is learn and grow. We regret, we reminisce about the good old days, we wish things were different, we punish ourselves by rerunning painful events over and over again in our mind. So many thoughts of the past cause us unnecessary suffering. We can do nothing to change the past - let's accept this fact as a starting point. Where is the past and future?

At one extreme is the charismatic but brutal Nobunaga, whose ruthless ambition crushes all before him. Warrior monks in their armed citadels block the road to the capital castles are destroyed, villages plundered, fields put to the torch.Īmid this devastation, three men dream of uniting the nation.
