Well, this is the cheeky and quintessential reply from Hobbes, when Calvin is pissed off about the loss of free range. He is worried about whether this can be changed and Hobbes comes up with this reply. Fun apart, I was thinking about the truth in that reply.
Many of the stuff you want to undo, it’s already too late. I can’t be mourning as if we had a choice in some stuff. But a few others we sure had. As they say, you never get to choose your parents and boss. And, invariably we get to love our parents despite the lack of choice and hate our boss for the same reason.
Many other things that you can choose and you did, how often do you think that it could have been different? Or rather you felt that you never have even looked in that direction? I had been wondering about how when we want to do something we keep looking only at the positives of that side and refuse to be objective.
My sister enlisted my help to freeze a house and when I knew the deal, I felt it was written ‘cheat’ all over it. And the house was not great shakes either. And such a poor reference about everything, owner, area, neighbors and the broker. I shot it down in one stroke. But all the while my nephew, who is quite capable of taking decisions on his own, was insisting that we anyway buy it and listed all the reasons why we should.
This happens all the time and in everything. I plainly refuse to think about the other side. Somehow it is anathema to even be objective, because I want to keep looking at positives. And how many compromises, sacrifices for getting stuff done and then mourn about it later. And it’s already too late by then.
Guess, it just doesn’t matter, whatever you do; it’s already too late. Right or wrong, it’s just late. That’s all!!!
