You know love, till date one thing that I haven’t been able to understand is the thing why people regret. See tris, once in a while each n every one of us regret a part of past, be it a situation, a choice or even a person. But we regret nevertheless and one thing that I don’t comprehend in all this is as to why… Why do we end up regretting something that in a part has made us n our history? See the basic fact is that we do everything n anything only when we feel it’s our ‘right’. So how come we end up regretting something that once had justified our sense of right n wrong. How come our very own right turns around so much that the only thing that’s left with us is plain regret? And you know the thing about regret is that it makes everything that touches it wrong, so utterly wrong that even thinnest ray of right isn’t visible through it… We uselessly ponder upon things that have passed by, been lived through and we end up judging every single second of it. And not surprisingly more times than not, we don’t come out content with our own analysis… I always feel that life has a very weird way of unfolding. See we never like what it offers us at any particular junction, still we make do n move on with the best of our capabilities n acceptance and with time we resent the very same choices n decisions that were taken by us then. Somehow be it moving on or staying stuck at some or other phase of our lives, we aren’t really happy with either choice. Anyway we go on n one coming day we regret making that particular choice. But if we look at this mess from another angle, it might be that we aren’t regretting the thing chosen but instead are feeling bad about the one not chosen. Still all I hope at this instant is that I somehow feel anything but regret that one day when I stop n look back on my life… In fact it’s my wish n prayer for everyone who is living his/her life in the best possible way at this particular moment… that they don’t bump into regret while travelling the bumpy lanes of their past… Ahem…

I have difference of opinion in this matter Neh. We regrets...because we are human being. Regrets linked to the past, regret linked to the realization and regret linked to the uncertainity in human life. Regretting is not a bad tendency. Change is the rule of nature. We human cannot predict almost everything in this nature. Also we are not perfect, so none of our actions will be perfect in its first attempt. We regret, because we analyze it in future. We regret because we learn from the experience, we regrets because of self analyzing tendency. There is no permanent rule set for any thing in this world Tris!!! the same situation in future may have different meaning and impact. So we human beings regrets in our life. It will make more confident to deal with such situations...even it is change is the rule of nature, but there are also repititon in moments. So I accept "Regreting" is just part of this life...nothing to avoid in this life :)
ReplyDeleteWhat Tris says now Neh ?
see P its not that one is being asked to bar oneself from regretting on all counts.. for regret too alike all other "human emotions" is a part of our make-up and needs to be there to complete us.. but the essence is why do it with just about everything.. even with the things that had made us happy n content in the long past, huh..
ReplyDeletelearn from it, if you are capable enough, that's in fact great.. and none is saying its a bad a habit, but alike all others over-indulgence in this too is bad bad bad.. and most of us though start on health levels, but eventually end up being on the ladder of over-indulgence and that mar just about everything that was once precious, even scared, to us..
and frankly point is not about avoiding it, its more about channelizing it, and most of us are pretty bad at it and worse still are not even willing to learn to do so..
so point here is not to nullify a part of our living and being, but to moderate it alike many many other things..
see P I'll be the first one to accept and champion that bad is important n required as the good, lack of something has to be there as much as its possession, worst is needed as much as the best.. but the key lies in balance and that's my wish, hope, prayer, just about everything for everyone..
Yes...too much is too bad Neh..its applicable with almost everything in this life and world. Maintaining blance on everything is the art of living :D
