“I could have.”
That is an incredibly sad statement. Its entirety is regret. You can’t
say sorry and have it erased from existence. No number of words can outdo the
inaction of yesterday. Our very personal haunting ghosts are conjured out of
yesterday’s could’ve-beens.
It is for this reason, I seek to take hold of every
opportunity presented me at the moment. Do what I can now for those around me
so I do not remember what I should have done or could have done when it is too
late.
I am grateful for the opportunities life presents, that we
all have the time and energy to do and be.
“It is required of every man that
the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow men! If it goes not
forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death! It is doomed to wander
through the world! Oh, woe is me! And witness what it cannot share but MIGHT
HAVE SHARED on Earth and turned to happiness!” – Jacob Marley, A
Christmas Carol
