Leaving the Past Behind!
A word caught my attention a while ago. In fact, it's a phrase that I've always known, that we repeat over and over again. "You have to leave the past behind. That way you can move forward into the future." Sometimes it's more important to accept than to know. Even the most important knowledge of the universe becomes meaningless unless we accept it wholeheartedly. For example, we know that going on vacation is enjoyable. Vacation allows us to relax. We also estimate how much fun the vacationers had. But knowing this and going on vacation are two different things. We can understand the importance of leaving the past behind. We can also predict and observe the peace in the lives of those who have left the past behind. But knowing it and experiencing it are two completely different things. Frankly, I guess there are different levels of knowing, even experiencing. The more information our consciousness is ready to grasp, the more we perceive. It's like noticing new things every time you read the same book again. In fact, that information was always there, but as our understanding and perception improves, we can become aware of more.

That is the best we can do so we don't have to regret anything. Thanks for the good advice.
You are welcome. Not only regret, but sometimes longing can pull us back to the past. I think the important thing is to bring only the feelings that make us feel good from the past to the present and move forward more happily into the future.
