Questions that begin ‘If I had/if I had not’ have no true answers. You can never know how your actions may have impacted Master Jason’s fate. And if you could know, that knowledge would not change the past. The only good that can come of these musings is that which you have already found: in taking the lessons of the past, such as they may be, to guide your choices in the present. Chris Dee
About This Quote

This quote is a beautiful example of how to deal with regret. It is easy to get caught up in the past and imagine what could have been if we had done things differently. But, we can never know for certain if we could have changed the outcome of the situation and therefore we should not waste our time feeling bad about things we cannot change. Often times, taking time to reflect on an event and learn from it can make us better people and help us make better decisions in the future.
