This is a very helpul way of thinking - but used in the wrong place it is rubbish.
It is not an excuse to do nothing thinking everytime things fail that it was never ment to be.
So Ww fail an exam because we didn't revise. On one hand it is easy to see why we failed and we may punish ourselves by wishing we had worked harder. This is true. But why didn't we work harder? Maybe we didn't understand the importants, maybe we had other things on our mind; whichever way we only realise now in the futurewhat we should have done in the past - and in that sense it was never going to be. Time machines do not exist.
However now that we know we have an opportunity to change and work harder. The future is upto us, the past is already laid and cannot be changed.
How we look at the present in the future we also do not know. But it is a feature of the world that the present always plays its part in the future. When the future comes we will look back and understand the part played by the present, even while we can't make sense of it now. This is a logical necessity.
A search for happiness in poverty. Happiness with personal loss, and a challenge to the wisdom of economic growth and environmental exploitation.
