You know that person you judge, all the time, that you hold accountable for everything, even things beyond their control? Well, why are we so hard on ourselves? Why do we play back those bits that are now beyond our grasp, wondering what we could have done differently? It's too late now. Isn't it?
We've all heard about learning from our mistakes and that's probably the best we can do. Many claim to look back and have no regrets, but for me, I spend a bit of time looking at the bad choices and poor decisions and have a good wrestling match for awhile until my sore, sorry self surrenders. For what? I don't know. Why do some people pick the scab?
Mind you, it's not a daily event, but when the occasion arises, it is difficult to pack all the garbage up again. And, it never fits as neatly back in the bag it came out of. Every time we touch it, we are stained again by the goo that remains. Best to leave it, learn from it, forgive and move on.
