Regrets and a lesson

Back when I was around 4-6 years old I would cry and lay down on the floor just to get something I wanted. Sometimes it would even last for hours until my parents gave in to my whims. More often than not I would get the thing that I wanted and probably enjoy it for about a day or two maybe. After playing with the toy or the thing that I got I would get tired of it and look for another toy to play with, I remember this clearly as it’s always said to me. As I grew older I realized that there are some things that should not be forced or we might regret it at the end.

There are times that my stubbornness brought me nothing but regrets. From something simple such as staying up late and doing nothing productive to making decisions that would probably affect me positively or negatively. As I remember it correctly I lied to one of my friends just because my other friends also did it. Sadly things did not turn out well as my friend ended up hating us and not talking to us for a while.  It took us about a year or so just to fix things and not be awkward with each other or so I think. Well the moral there is that one should think through what would be the effects of one action if it would be done. Unfortunately, this rarely happens in the world we live in today, a fast paced world that changes by the second. I believe that there is no definite way of avoiding such circumstances, so we just have to live with it and realize that these events would either serve as lessons of a dark reminder that might consume us part by part.
