Is this why our hindsight is so much clearer than our foresight?
Living is in the now but understanding comes later? I think that many an octogenarian would agree with this.
Thoughts:
PAST experience may cause us to hesitate...
RETROSPECT help us to see more clearly...
HOPE lead to adventure...
FAITH allow us to ride 'round the bend...
WHO we've become cause us to, & make others want to do better.
Someone once told me that understanding was the booby prize - it is in living that the true worth is found. First we live it, then we can go back and figure it out.
Now where did I put that instruction manual anyway?
