Another one from Seth:
'I didn't do anything"
That's the first and best defense every toddler learns. If you don't do anything, you don't get in trouble.
Somewhere along the way, it flips. "I didn't do anything when I had the chance," becomes a regret. The lost opportunity, the hand not extended, the skill not learned...
Wouldn't it be great if we knew what our regrets were when we still had time to do something about them?
Whenever I did something it goes wrong. So better to have regrets than experience a bad result. Yes in the process something nice gets missed out. So be it.
ReplyDeleteHey Anon, That's the flip side I guess.....a choice. But one thing I'd like to add here: sometimes even seemingly bad results have eventual positive outcomes, but that's a long shot, so yes, a choice :)
