How is past mutable?

  It’s a reference to your memories of the past not accurately reflecting what really happened

  Probably not what the parent meant, but I think the past is "mutable" in that we can change how we see it through time. Example. A few years ago I was laid off right after my kid was born. Bad thing that happened to me, right? In retrospect, if I didn't get laid off from there, I would end up living in a different state, and my kids wouldn't live next door to their cousins. And I am fine work wise as well. So I retrospect, getting laid off from that job was the best thing that could have happened because it was a critical junction to my current life which I love.
