Will you be preoccupied with the past thoughts?
As a sentence, this is part of a larger narrative. It lacks something. It reads like it should be "If you do this, will you be preoccupied with past thoughts ?"
Sometimes, you hear 'Are you preoccupied with the past ?' or 'Do you brood over the past ?' The sentences convey different things. Brooding over the past conveys regret over something usually an injustice.
However should we be concerned with the past in the sense of the historical past ?
Yes I think we should be to learn from mistakes and build a better future.
