Isnt it amazing how hindsight is such a powerful yet sobering thought mechanism? you look back and realise, damn, if i only i knew then what i know now...it can get painful sometimes. Most of the time after achieving said hindsight however, it is always possible to make the same mistake again and then kick yourself twice as hard. 'Fool me once, shame on you , fool me twice and its time you start running whilst i cock my shotgun'. But like i said, hindsight is powerful, it can enforce and make you base every other future decision in regards to your life either subconciously or quite explicitly. maybe hindsight is the basis of wisdom itself, probably why the smartest people are those who have suffered the most...maybe.
It depends how you live your life, either you learn from your mistakes and limit your productivity or possibly gamble on the same chance and risk losing again or gaining more. somehow im thinking of a poker context in regards to that last statement but it can relate to alot of things, poker, relationships either with friends, family or your other half, choice of consumption in terms of buying things or even simply which side to get up on your bed. Im lucky with that last one, mines against the wall so i eliminate the agony of choice from the moment i stir and get up, leaving the rest of lifes obstacles to hinder or advance me. However you look at it, hindsight could be your best friend or your enemy, its always there either guiding you or restraining you along lifes little journeys. if it is and your frustrated with feeling trapped, take that risk, if your the other way inclined however, maybe tell your other half he/she might want to be careful the next time they get up.
