I regret to say...

Many people often lament about their choices made in life, with some regretting their past actions. From time to time, humans invariably comment on things in retrospect, saying sorry, regretful, etc, and that we seem to resign to fate at every unpalatable outcome. Maybe "regret" is only an emoticon that we assign it to describe how we feel now. Is it really possible to live a life without regret as many others would want to? Some behold these glorious dreams just to find that they are indulging in self-deceit. Some find it mission impossible as we cant guarantee the outcome of our choices. But whatever we choose, i must admit that we have rightfully considered our choices and evaluated it as best as we can. So some of us tell ourselves that I have done my best and have no regrets. But can this languid attempt of self-assurance salvage any emotional turmoil from a bleak turnout?

Maybe not i guess. We'll be forced to acknowledge the reality and accept the consequence of our decision. Just as we start to repent, we would probably recall previous warnings and signs of disaster, or suddenly remembering a particular someone whose advice u chosen to ignore. Though there is no point in grieving over the mistake, it is crucial to learn from often-dismissed reminders in our lives given by insignificant people around us whom we have taken for granted. We ought to admonish ourselves for not considering heeding their warnings seriously, as every occurrence in this world entails a reason behind it, be it conspicuous or oblique.As much as we might blame the world for the uncertain uncertainties that ruined our choices, it does not diminish the responsibility on us for not giving due attention to the world which has also provided certainties. We should not play the blame game.

So sometimes we should not be so parochial. Minute sparks at any corner can lead to an inferno. In the event that something untoward does occur, "regret", and its other synonymphs, are merely overrated words, just like sorry itself.

Pay attention to the world around you.
