Regret?

when u think u've made the right decision and find out the next day that u'd not... it feels weird ...
honestly, every one tries consciously to do the right thing at any movement apart frm a few lame exceptions like eating mysore pak when u r a diabetic!


it baffles me , as to wat feeling one gets when he made a decision and it seemed as though it was right, in fact perfect! but after sometimes turns out to be one which puts a nail into his own coffin!

as a Chess Player, i've many a times undergone such a situation, where u feel u r doing the right thing and finally it turns out to be otherwise..... question is tat whether i shud repent on it as a false/incorrect move or not?

this question has always puzzled me for so many years... wheather i shud repent on something which i tot was right thing ato do?

at first, let i think back to the time i made a decision... things which were working in my head while taking the decision..

  • wat are the alternatives i gt?
  • is this the best move?
  • wat are the consequences?
  • wat do i gain if this works out?
  • wat do i loose if it goofs up?

so, i'd have made a concious attempt and understood the situation, to best of my ABILITY to analyse the situation.

so, on that day, i was good enuf only to take that decision.
i was not aware of a higher truth. which came to my notice afer experience.

so, by this arguement i can draw these things

  • i did a thing which i felt was right, so i should back myself.
  • i've learnt now that ther is a better way to do , and have learnt from the experience
  • from next time, i'd keep the past in mind to take better decisions
  • i'll evolve and become a better person
so, i kind of conclude that i'd not like to keep regret on something which i'd done previously... wisely, bt not egoisticaly

i'd be contended and say, tat was who i was, good enuf to take only tat decision which was taken... now, i'm evolved!
