Dealing with regret

(One of my favorite clips.  Pardon the curse words)

For the last several years I have tried to live my life without regret.  Trying to make the most of the opportunities that come my way.  Through I try every once and a while I am presented with something that catches me off guard.  Something that many times I did not know was there.   The interesting thing is it usually took place when I was younger was young.  When I had less life experience.  When I was not as wise.  When I hurt others and not even knew that I had done so.

It is in those times I wish I could go back and right a wrong.  To go back with an eraser some 10 or 20 years and talk to the younger me.  Show him the errors in his ways.   Try to talk some sense into him.   Show him what he was missing out on.  How his decisions were affecting others.   And even… if possible …right a wrong.  I am thankful of the times when it is possible and prayer for the wisdom to not make the same mistake when it is not.  Maybe if I cannot right a wrong that has already taken place I can right one that will again in the future.
