A line from the famous poem, Maud Muller says, “For of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: “It might have been!” Or as the wise woman of Tokoah told King David, “[We] are as water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again.” The popular idiom puts it this way, “Don’t cry over spilt milk.”
Whatever else these sayings might convey; one truth stands out above all others: “What’s done is done.” You can’t undo past history in your life. Only an illogical fool would disagree. But all sensible, sane persons would also admit; although it is impossible to reverse the past, one can begin a new history today.
Most, if not all, of us have said, “If I had to do it again, I’d do it differently.” Who among us in this imperfect life has not taken a wrong turn, or made an error in judgment? And though there are no u-turns in many instances, or overturning verdicts in others, we can learn from our mistakes and correct them. We need not repeat our history!
”We all need to be astute historians when dealing with our past blunders.”~rds
