RE: STEEMZINE #13 - You Are Not Your Past
Once had somebody ask me if I had any regrets in life. I replied to them no, they were shocked. I said every decision I've made in my life, good and bad, has molded me to whom I am today. Be proud of your past and mistakes. Own them.
@rem870man could not have said it better!
I can't say I agree with that. I have regrets about people I hurt in the past, especially if it scarred them emotionally in some way. I have become a better person as a result, but I would undo many things in the past that hurt others.
Interesting take @rem870man has a point though. We all have an impact on people without having a negative impact on someone or something, you wouldn't know or learn the lesson not to do it. I understand the ideal world where that person wasn't you who caused the hurt. But, I think generally speaking we all just do the best we can in a given situation and sometimes that is not always the best for those around us. But I have similar moments @goose so I can relate.
I understand where @goose is coming from. There's people I hurt years ago that I still think about today. Do I regret hurting them yes, so I have any regrets in my decision making? No, that terrible decision I made rounded me into what I consider a good human being today.
