Who does not want to say, without any regrets to pass the life in peace? Many of your decisions, big and small, are working to get you where you are today. Similarly, your future depends on the decision you take today. That future can be of peace, it can be of regret. But we don't want to live with regret. So what should we do? How can we be saved from regret? I will discuss some such issues here. But before that, what we need to know is where is the regret thing?
Suppose you are going to attend your friend's wedding by tonight's train. You left home exactly one hour to the station. But you couldn't reach the station on time because of the many jams on the road. The train started leaving you behind. At that time you must think that if you had left home 30 minutes earlier, you would not have missed your friend's wedding? This feeling is called regret. Regret is the feeling when we think that our current situation could have been better if we had made a different action or decision in the past. That is, regret requires two things. One, making a wrong decision. Two, imagination.
Yes, you have to imagine to feel regret. Your mind will go back to the time you made the wrong decision and imagine making the right decision, then thinking about how that decision would have affected your current situation. And the sharper your imagination, the sharper the regret. That's why not catching a train for 2 minutes is more difficult than not catching it for 20 minutes. Because it is relatively easy to imagine these 2 minutes differently.
It is said that man's greatest fear is not death, but death with regret. Regret can gradually turn into depression. Now the question is how to stay away from this regret?
