Random Thoughts

There are choices in life which one can make. Usually more often than not, these choices can be either classified into good or bad. The classification is only visible in retrospect & till that hindsight is available to us, we rely upon our past experiences & hope that our decisions are right
We can also realy upon stupid self help books & crappy pseudo therapist replacing magazines but those are the choice of the intellectually challenged. I firmly believe that I do not fall in that category ( what else would you like me to belive anyways)

I have made choices in life , some good & some not so good. When I look back in life, I hold no regrets. I mean if given a choice I would go back in time & change things all over again but that clearly is not an option given to me. So I look back, reflect on how the good or the bad decision has changed my life & move on with the hope that I would be wiser & smarter in the future.

However there are some decisions in life which I regret. I wish I had not made those decisions & most of these have been in relations to people. When it comes to people, we are blinded by our emotions & refuse to see things in black & white. We live on hope, emotion & mix our left & right side of the brain to make a complete hash of things. We refuse to see the wrong sides of people & ignore examples of those as minor things which would go away with time or improve. But as time moves on, those things keep raising their head or become the crux of the problem & things fall apart. So looking back I think what should I have done? Should i have been rational & not made those wrong choices or stayed away from people who showed those signs

The answer to that is is a big NO. We embrace people in our lives, we are fond of them, spend time, shares joys & sorrows & end up loving some of them. Some of these people may or may not be right people to having experiences these emotions but then with every experience you grow stronger in life. In the process of knowing the other person, you discover more of your self & have a settling down reassurance about the fact that the world is indeed a nicer place to live in.Sure there is grief involved & long periods of it but then if you have done everything that could have been done & have given everything you had to it with complete honesty & sincerity, you are a better person at the end of it. It is bad luck for the other person & I don't say this because I am writing it but because of the fact that it always takes courage to swim in the deep seas as whales than watch waters from the sidelines as ducks.
Reminds me of the song from World Cup 2010
We all say
When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom just like a waving flag
