Today when discussing the rumination of decisions made in the past. One friend argued that it is pointless to think of the past, because the past, is the past, and we cannot change anything now.
The other friend argued, we should still question the past because we might change something in the future.
The might change something is what gets me.
The might change something feels like the reason why so many of us, (me included), end up in circles of rumination and frustration.
We understand that a different decision would have been better.
But.
We often fail to commit to the changes necessary for a different, more aligning, future result.
