I wish that we never made mistakes. That we, as a human race, were infallible. If I had my way, there'd be no heartache, no fighting, no wishing you could go back in time to fix your mistakes. There would be no mistakes, no misjudgements, no regrets. No regrets. Isn't that what we all want? To be able to look back on life and say that we lived without regrets? That we held back nothing in the pursuit of happiness.
But if there were no mistakes then there would never be reconciliation. That beautiful, beautiful feeling when you reunite with someone you love. That moment after you say "I'm sorry," and they say, "I forgive you." Life would be so much easier without worrying about whether you did the right thing, but life is so much more beautiful in its imperfection. For out of that imperfection come such sweet moments of resolution, when you right the wrongs you've done.
I suppose my way would be much easier.
But I suppose the way life is now is the best way. Although it hurts so much more than perfection, it can be so much more beautiful. After the rain, the sun always comes out.
Wow. That was really deep. I find myself thinking about that a lot. How life would be better if there was no pain and suffering, but then again at the same time, would that life even be worth living? If we never felt pain we wouldn't learn, we would be one dimensional. I hate to say we would be boring, because that isn't fair to the people who are really suffering, but at the same time that is the case. We'd all be the same, if there was no suffering to make us who we are. I hate that there are people out there who are suffering and have to go through crap, but at the same time we would suck. Here I am trying to be deep and basically just resaying what you already said :) anyway you are an interesting and thoughtful person.
