Regretting One's Past

Regretting one's past is like wishing to remove the foundations of his life's structure!

We should not waste precious time on regrets, but learning from our mistakes and moving forward.

Indeed, dear Demetrios, a very thought provoking and beautifully conveyed monoku. I believe that we are the sum of all the parts of our life; the success, the failures, the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly.. it takes true grit and courage, not to regret one's past, but to look at it, own it, embrace it and learn from it.. one's experiences (one's past) are the invaluable facets on the gemstone of one's life. A profound poem! Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan

We are our past, our falls, failure and success.. we are all the sweet and bad memories.. our mistakes and sins.. We are who we are now because of that past! So how dare we wipe it?! A well penned profound Monoku that touches the very identity of a human being. My deepest regards dear Demetrios. Stay blessed always.
