A friend said something..that made me wonder..dear,this is my answer.
: if only.. :
imagine having a round apple.
it's so perfect you want to bite it. You did and suddenly,you regretted it. the apple's not so perfect anymore. But then, you figure out something. That there's still a good part in that apple. You took a knife and cut your own bite mark and tried as much as you can to leave the good part in one piece. Then, you cut the good part into fine pieces and share them with other people.
what's the moral of the story?
We faced many things in life - the good things,the bad things. There may be some words..some acts you wish you could take them back. "if only i hadn't been so stupid" "if only i never hurt them."
Take an apple,my dear.
That's your life -- when it was still untouched, beautiful and safe.
You took a bite,
.. meaning you take a chance in life
That regret
are for some of the choices you make that may be bad and make you feel horrible. Something you've done and couldn't take it back. How can you return the apple round again?
Take a knife and cut the bite mark.
This is a lesson. You understand the consequence of your words and actions. While you hurt others, it hurts you worst.
And then,you cut the good part into fine pieces and shared them with others.
That's you. Believe it or not, you have 'many' good qualities. The person who learned his/her lesson and tried very hard to never repeat the same mistake, the one who tried to give their best to other people. To be good in your own way.
On the other hand,imagine the untouched apple,left for days.. you wanted so much to preserve it's perfection. Can you? When gradually,it began to rot on it's own.
You have lived a life. If you do nothing with it,you have rot your ownself. But if you have taken a chance in life -- make the right and wrong choices. it's still a better one. The wrong ones made you learned. It's a hard lesson,and yet still a lesson that taught you to be more careful of your own words and actions. And the effect of that, you tried harder to be a good person and share that with other. So that they can have a piece of that apple. Pieces of you that is good and beautiful. One bad thing led to many good things. If you hadn't took a bite,the apple would only be for your ownself and it would be ruined anyway. But for that bite you have taken, you realized how delicious and happy that apple makes you feel. It makes you want to share how good that apple is with others.
Rather than pondering on the "if only's" that gets you 'nowhere'. Take a chance in life, to find out what kind of the person you are. In your own way,you can give your own pieces of apple. =)
