Why do we have to regret why can't we just forget. That would make things so much easier. Its like you know you made a mistake but instead of being able to forget about it, it just dwells on you and makes you feel horrible. What about you? Are you able to just forget things?
Somethings I have had trouble forgetting. Forgiving is they KEY for me. Once I am able to forgive it seems to ease the pain of the forgetting. We all make mistakes. The only thing we (I) can do from them is learn from them. There has to be something we can get out of them. Talking about it helps me too. We (I) don't have to live this Life feeling like we are alone.
while becoming drunk with regret is horrible.. a tinge of regret now and then for past mistakes or whatever can actually help a person to make better decisions in the present for a better present and future.that doesnt mean you have to waller round in it cuz that is definately unhealthy. life is more than just the happy moments. we would miss out on very important aspects of our lives and who we have become if we simply did not remember those things that were not so great. remember .. just dont put too much energy into regret cuz that can seriously disable a person's progress.
regret is like a pile of dog poop on the sidewalk.. you see it... you make sure you notice it so that you do not step in it.. but you walk on by and try not to dwell on the fact that it is there.
that is sheer genius, and exactly how i feel about it. i'm not gonna hover over a pile of dogshit. i'm gonna clean it up if it's in my yard and move on with my life.
hehe thanks .. im glad you guys feel that way about it too.. and even adding new insightful twists too haha cool
I'm not very good at forgetting things. I would like to be, but I'm not. And if I try not to think about it, whenever I remember it by accident the pain of regret is even more fresh and hurtful than it was the first time.
