The problem with the combination of experience, knowledge and self-reflection is the tendency to look back upon life’s decisions and regretting it all.

“If only I knew, how things would be different.”

Maybe. Possibly.

But the regret isn’t useful.

What is useful is going forward by identifying all those connections in the past and seeing how they manifest today. Once that’s done, then it’s time to rectify.

Nothing can be done for then, but something can be done for now.
