Marry, and you will regret it; don’t marry, you will also regret it; marry or don’t marry, you will regret it either way. Laugh at the world’s foolishness, you will regret it; weep over it, you will regret that too; laugh at the world’s foolishness or weep over it, you will regret both. Believe a woman, you will regret it; believe her not, you will also regret it… Hang yourself, you will regret it; do not hang yourself, and you will regret that too; hang yourself or don’t hang yourself, you’ll regret it either way; whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both. This, gentlemen, is the essence of all philosophy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson might strike the right chord:
For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.
That's very popular thought which I seen many times from different authors. There is no right and wrong, there is only life. The nature doesn't know what is right or wrong. Humans created those terms and try to fit everything into those categories.
P.S. I seen this quote over a year ago somewhere, so saved it and only now found time to mention it in the blog.
Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.
-- Mark Twain
Прощение – это аромат, который фиалка дарит тому, кто ее растоптал.
-- Марк Твен
You never change things fighting existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.
-- Buckminster Fuller
Every life history is the history of suffering
-- Arthur Schopenhauer
As Warren Buffett once said, the greatest investment a young person can make is in their own education, in their own mind. Because money comes and goes. Relationships come and go. But what you learn once stays with you forever.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
-- Gandhi
