Regardless Regrets

If I would ask you if you have any regrets? you would say what a generic question is that! We all have regrets. Stolen something which wasn't yours, hurt your best friend when you are specifically not supposed to, picked up the wrong sides and whatnot. We all have done things we did not want to admit or the worst which we had to admit. I remember when I was little, I had stolen 5 rs. from my mother's purse. (YES! 5 rs. was a big deal when I was little) and, of course, being a mother, she found out. (seriously, what is with these species of mothers. They should be in FBI or secret services) And when I admitted that I did, she did not even scold me but she said that she was disappointed that I couldn't ask her for the money but I felt the need for stealing. And that was the time when my regret hit me hard. It was not just about the money I stole but what I regretted the most was not asking her for the same. And that stayed with me for a long time. But the very fact that she chose to put her trust in me even when she was disappointed made me make peace with my regret. Have you ever realised, we as a human species are very eager on to our actions than our thoughts? We got to do things the moment we feel like doing them and we even come up with different excuses to do them. But guess what? I think these actions which are sometimes followed by the regrets make the Black and White parts of our deeds clearer. When you have done something you regretted, admitted and still, you come out of that clean, admitting you have done and still manage to survive, isn't it miraculous? Regardless our regrets, there will always be a path that would lead us to peace or towards making things right at least, there will always be some people who would choose to keep their hands on our backs and we will live not just survive but live. So yes, we all have got our regrets, regardless of them, we still get happy, we still celebrate the moments. And even when these regrets make us take a stroll of the memory lane, we just visit them like some dark alleys where we just walk past all the scary things just to find out to never take that road again!
