338-I have a lot to regret!- Buddhism in daily life

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


- Stephen King - US writer - born 1947


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


- Marilyn Monroe - US actress - 1926 to 1962
