Already I can see where the passage of time aids in understanding things that took place in the past.
I've read that a person should allow a space of a number of years before sharing past experiences with an audience (like writing a book for example) because when those experiences are fresh and new you simply don't have the depth of understanding or perception that you really need to be able to share what happened in an objective or at least more objective and realistic way.

I suppose that's what is meant by hindsight...we always can see the full picture when it's a ways behind us than when we're right up on it.
