Description

I have a lot to regret!
Or not?
Who has nothing to regret, who is free from mistakes, who casts the first stone!
However, it is important how we deal with our past, do we learn from our history, or do we continue as before?
According to the teachings of Buddha, everything is already written, everything has come exactly as it had to come.
So what can we change for the future? Can we change anything at all?
YES and NO
If we reconsider our behavior for the future, then this is also our destiny, it is written so, whether we act "wiser" from now on, or not.
It is already determined whether we process the experiences of the past intelligently!
Nevertheless we can regret different things from our past, for example why we had not thought about our "I" much earlier, why we had not questioned our actions much earlier.
From the certainty that everything came as it had to come, from this, however, we can draw comfort, we just followed our destiny.
If we regret things, maybe even feel sad about various past events or strokes of fate, then we should not get stuck in this position, but quickly also arrive back at the present.
REGRET DOES NO GOOD IN LIFE. IT BELONGS TO THE PAST. ALL WE HAVE IS THE "NOW".
- MARLON BRANDO - AMERICAN ACTOR - 1924 TO 2004
When we are going through a period of "regret" again, it can help to put the teachings of Buddha at the center of our being. The teacher of all teachers has given us a way to deal with our problems, simply by devoting ourselves to his main theme, "enlightenment". If the negative thoughts are displaced by the positive theme of "Buddhism" we are already on a good path.
So we have nothing to regret!
Authentic regret is as rare as authentic love

My only regret in life is that I am not someone else
- Woody Allen - US comedian, film director, writer and actor - born 1935
We should all start living before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So is regret
