When you've made a decision, don't look back...

Borrowing Dev's quote and after some thoughts about this statement.Originally posted by Devil1976:A thing which my buddy taught me in which I find quite true...
"When you've made a decision, don't look back..."
Have you ever wonder or came across, the certain decision you've made this time. Will in your latter life reappear in another form of situation, but recalls that exact decision making moment exactly like the last time you've made that decision when you're younger?
________________________________________________
Breakdown:::: When you're young. You've made certain a decision(i.e relationship or friendship) and you know you're not going to look back.
Many years after. The similiar situation in relationship or friendship reappears and it forces you to look back at that choice you've made in the past. = Revisitation of choices. -
dun really get wat u mean..

So u mean...sometimes we tend to regret/reflect on that decision made years ago..and this time round, might not want to make the same mistake?
Not that i can recall.. -

You may be right.Originally posted by Devil1976:Sometimes it's just an illusion..?
It could be well possible that all causes from the mindset of people.
Some decisions indeed which will make you look back. There are factors which prevented people from looking back and usually negetive. -
sometimes i do have this feeling...
sort of a deja vu to me.... -
i don't believe in that...
if you made the wrong decision, you keep at it? even when you know you have made a dreadful mistake?
go do the right thing...
not looking back is to blunder into another mistake... -
Think, somethimes we should not be too hard on ourselves.
Decisons were made based on the values & principles we have cultivated at that moment.
As long as we delibrate on the choices well and feel that it's the best option at that time, we should not regret on it.
If somehow it sound so right then but feel so wrong now. We just have to learn from it. -
everything happens for a reason. in order not to live life in regrets in the future, go for what you really want.. deep down in you..
learn from your poor decisions made. do not repeat again. life is full of trials and errors. you can handle it in your stride -
It really depends on the situation...?Originally posted by the Bear:i don't believe in that...

When you've made a decision, don't look back...
Ya tend to agreed. But before you made the decision, think thoroughly first.
I remember a story once told to me....
The writer was working in the hospital ward when he stumbles along a terminally-ill patient who keep sighing and cursing himself that he should have decided to marry her last time... as now he is feeling so regretful..On his hand was a photo of his gf he would hold onto during day and night.
While hearing his moarning, he wonders why the wall behind this patient is banging so loudly and he ask his colleagues. "That's the lunatic gf of his as shown on the photo." "Heard that she gambled away his husband's fortune and sold away her two kids for debt payments".
Hearing that, I realised sometimes decision made has no correct or wrong even over a period of time. It just situational.

Thank to those replied so far.
Special mention to Kuuga, Magnus, icepole, Dev, niceguy_123.
I think The Bear have hit certain truths about the topic.
This topic could have varied from situations to situations and answers would have been different.
Dev, you are right when it depends on situation which is why it is not always illusion.
When we've made a wrong decision in the past and reaped the consequences. Would we allow it to happen if we have to meet the decision again?
What if your decision,
concerns life and death?
concerns past and future?
concerns ourselves psychologically?
affects people around you?
affects your loved ones?
IT is not neccesarily about Love all the time.
Many took the decision to escape from making the decision....because they are fear the rippling effects of the consequences.

When we're young, we tend to make irrational decisions, we're more rash, we're more impulsive.
When we're older, we've experienced more in life. Sure, I've looked back @ the decisions I'd made in the past. Some, I felt, cld've been better, but I dun get upset @ myself, cosh I was young then, & it was the best decision I cld've made in those circumstances.
Then, I make the best decision based on the circumstances NOW.

How true!! question is how do one know whether he/she has made a right or wrong decision? esp when there are so many expectations to meet, many things to consider and grey areas...Originally posted by the Bear:i don't believe in that...
