painful cost - regret in our choices

In life there are many choices of what one's like and want to do, we are free to choose our actions, but we are not free to choose the consequences. When we violate the laws either law of God or Human law we forfeit something. When its God's laws we forfeit the blessing of God and in its place take His wrath and when its human laws we forfeit our freedom. Regret is what we always felt after what we have done something that is against the laws either of God or Human. Did you ever experience taking an action at the spur of the moment then regretted after doing it? and ask yourself what if i never did it? I have that sort of experienced and it took me years before i was healed from that kind of wounded life. Thanks God.

I've regretted a lot of stuff in my life. Yep, I've experienced this. Although, it's not very advisable to just regret those experiences. We should learn from those and move on with our lives cuz we don't wanna just stay in the past. That'd be moving away from the present and the future.

Life is indeed full of mysteries. I have always tried to live my work well. But there is always a problem I have faced. Sometimes I also wrong in making decisions. But I always try to always correct errors, and continue to live this life.

being an imperfect person as we all are, i have been through a lot of situations which i could have avoided, but still went on withe the bad decisions, and which eventually lead me to almost total destruction. Man can be sometimes too poor in strength to actually say yes to the right ones but instead we tend to go to the wrong ones coz being in the wrong sometimes is the easiest way out for a certain situation, but only temporarily. i had a lot of regrets and if only i could turn back time, i would really make all my decisions lead to the right path.

This is true about life - It gives us many choices to do different things. We are free to choose our destiny for the short terms and it makes the way for longer term. However, It will be a world upside down if we could choose the consequences of our actions and deed. What is the use of policing in a nation where there is not a theft of single needle, or murder, or abduction. I would say, every action that we choose will have equal and opposite reaction and that is universal truth. Even mother nature has given us abundance of examples every now and then. I won't take it as a wrath of god for my mistakes, I would take it as the valuable experience. This would be to ask question to my subconscious mind and try to influences it to bring positive changes. The time is the biggest healer and it always heals all the wound. However, I would agree with you in one aspect, That we must think deeply about our actions so that it doesn't find negative reactions. God alone must not be included in something which is universal law.

There have been many instances where I have regretted rash decisions in my life. Sometimes I feel like I have lived a life of what ifs. It is nice to find comfort in knowing that things typically work out for the best and although I did not see the other path, I am happy with the one I am on.
