Things can usually be averted.RetroSpiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12310734132252898559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8447900521916913781.post-24604952191934490612011-02-28T21:17:48.837-08:002011-02-28T21:17:48.837-08:00Some people say they have no regrets, they don'...Some people say they have no regrets, they don't believe in them, that hindsight is useless and unnecessary. I'm not sure. I have some regrets, I'm sure if we all really thought about it we would agree. It's true that you can't change the past, and that everything we have done has made us into the person we are now ... but what if we don't like that person? What if we want to learn from this hindsight? I believe this is hindsight's virtue, the ability to learn from our mistakes. If it's true that our past actions have made us the person we are today, then it's also true that they help us plan and live our future lives. <br /><br />I have some regrets, some things I would do differently; but it's because of hindsight that I have the knowledge, the burn on the fingertips from touching the hot plate, and the will to not follow that path again.Luke Raftlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05727217934586579528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8447900521916913781.post-20232814089310718972011-02-28T20:30:12.043-08:002011-02-28T20:30:12.043-08:00You are a very philosophical person, Glenn. :)You are a very philosophical person, Glenn. :)W.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05841802857427762014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8447900521916913781.post-22605034064690410192011-02-28T13:02:58.114-08:002011-02-28T13:02:58.114-08:00I don't think hindsight is the problem.
