RE: If the person you most cared for died, would you be content with the way you have treated them?

in Ask the Hive4 years ago

Hmm tough question ... I always try to think back in the past and learn my lessons. I made mistakes. I have hurt people and they have hurt me. I do have some regrets, but I can't change the past, I can only focus on what I am and what I do now with a vision towards the future. I am sure I would beat myself up for a while, until I would realize that at that precise moment I did the best I could do with what I was back then. Today I am different, tomorrow I will not be the same as today. It is hard to make peace with it because if they die, you no longer have the chance to make things right again. You are stuck with a rock in the mouth unable to swallow or to speak. I think we can fix things up easier when we let go of our ego. Not easy.

Your question makes me realize that me and everybody should use today as it's the last day and try to repair connections and be kind with those we love. You never know when they will be gone.

I would not be 100% content and it's hard to admit. This is due to my perfectionism too. I guess it is better to find a balance and not beat yourself up. I would channel my energy towards those who are still living and try to make it right with them. It would be the best option. Starting today

And then...

Today I am different, tomorrow I will not be the same as today.

The tomorrow position should be approached with intention, carrying the lessons of today. continual improvement starts with us and can go a very long way.

I would channel my energy towards those who are still living and try to make it right with them.

I am pretty practical in this regard, the living take precedence.

Thanks for taking the time on a tough question :)

We can only look forward and that's it. Unless somebody makes a time travelling machine, we are given only today. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is just a possibility.

It was not an easy question, it made me see things from a perspective of time

I think that we often have issues in this area, where we confuse the past, present and future and also get our actions out of alignment - we want to be somewhere tomorrow, but aren't doing what we need to do today to get there, because we are using the habits of yesterday.

Oh yes. So true.
