To Rue or Not To Rue *That Is A Non Question)

June 6th 2021

 

Every second is a decision,

If it is an hour

Or a minute.

The afteershock

Can’t be measure

Until it happens.

The magnitude is subjective,

 

Depending on where you’re standing.

 

Looking back is like

Looking to the side

When your vision is less

Than twenty-twenty.

 

So let the Richter scale

Say what it will

For the earth

Is always moving

I often think life is predestined, that the decisions we make are already deeply embedded within us, and that turning left for example, rather than right, is just the way it's supposed to be; and like you say, the earth is always moving no matter.

As for looking back; as William Blake famously observed, 'hindsight is a wonderful thing but foresight is better.' :))

Beccy.

PS. Loved the title as much as the poem!

Thank you for the thoughtful and intelligent review.
One choice can affect our path in so many ways but we don’t see it at the time. There are reasons why things happen the way they do and if it is suppose to happen God/Universe will push us until we get on the right path.

Thank you for that though provoking review.
for sure we don't
always make the
wisest decisions
along life's journey
we should weigh them
carefully and even then
we can still get it wrong
and have regrets

nice work here

Thank you so nuch
from the poems I read from You this one is one of your bests and finest, I read it few times enjoying the powerful positivity of it. regret can kill the spirit, can lead to deep despair and make a person stuck with no progress at all, to learn everything is for a reason even our mistakes or our false decisions, they are not sins or guilt they are bridges to the greater level. amazing gem my friend, thank You for sharing your talent and wisdom with us.

Thank you so much for that wonderful Treview.
I agree my friend.
"Every second is a decision,

Or a minute.
The afteershock

It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool
