I often wonder whether life would have been different if I knew more.

I try telling myself that it would have turned out the same.
That certain circumstances leave me with few choices.
And what I do is making the best of a bad situation.

But the feeling lingers, all the same.

Maybe… events might have taken another course. Perhaps a better one. Had I been properly informed.

I play the sequence back in my head.
Over and over. Probing for an opportunity, a mistake, an opening.
And when I fail to find one, I just start again from the beginning.

Hey J!

It is important that we learn from past mistakes, what we overlooked, etc... but it maekes no sense to brood over them. Live in the present... The more control you have over yourself, the less are your chances of missing the turn in the road. Cheer up, buddy! Go watch a movie, or just plain freak out and shout in the middle of the road. They will help, I promise :)

ever heard ... "ignorance is bliss"...

it just boils that the more you know the more you get lost (or confused)... so get out of the loop... take a break... chill out and leave the rest to the god! (or the best sleep over it... that's what i do)... ;)

Sudipta, none of that helped. But thanks anyway :)

Ram, hope it does. Ask the traffic cops to do something, fast!!!

Poison, :)

Kaashyapeya, Cal, yes. Not Viv park. Not Carmel. Keep thinking!

Anon, I’m not going to take that wrong turn again.

Devil, no such inspirations. That would never ever bother me in the first place.
And no, he doesn’t have a clue as to who you are. Oh, i meant the anon comment on Monday’s post.

Eddie, I swear, how I wish life had a rewind button. At least I know what that PJ is about :D

Alternate life, I know what you mean. Thanks!

Chaos, Ok here I go… GOD, help me!!!

@$#%$, yeah, I’m just waiting for that damned thing to stop ticking!

If you knew life more..
If you knew that what u are doing is right or wrong
If u knew where life I leading to
If u had all the answers..

That is IF u had the answers ..So wait around till u find the answers
And if u find the answers..
Would life have any more If’s?
