When the time passes, if the time passes, the Wish List of the things we wanted to do in life, pass in front of our eyes, like a fast leaving train. We look back at the train of our Wish-List in regret and grief. We look at it until it disappears from the horizon of our time. We do not board it despite of it being in front of our eyes until it disappears.
We procrastinate.
When it disappears, we only remember how strongly we wished to fulfill those wishes.
We regret the relations we did not value. We regret the friendships lost. We regret talking to someone in a raised voice. We regret not expressing the love to our most beloved people before they are gone forever.
We regret making someone uncomfortable for the sake of a little laugh. We regret making someone feel hated. And we regret ‘Hating’ someone more than being hated. We regret betraying someone because at the end we know that betrayal is a dirty blot on our character. Yet we ignore it at the time of betraying a clean heart. A heart that trusts us.
We regret not going to that place, only a thought of which made our inner tickle.
We regret not taking our parents to the restaurants they once wished to go to but could not because we were more important to them than their own wishes. And many more. Regrets.
Would not we love to erase all these regrets from our lives? Would we all not love to complete that Checklist? And feel content. So that we could leave with a happy soul.
