Time and the Choices we make

Dear friends,

In The Character Of Physical Law, author Richard P. Feynman explains, "Remorse and regret and hope and so forth are all words which distinguish perfectly obviously the past and the future". Moreover, whatever remorse or regret one has from the past, s/he shouldn't waste time getting stuck in the past, because no one can resolve, much less undo, the past.

However, one can look to the future and act accordingly by having hope inside of one's self. Because having that type of emotional factor (hope) attached to his or her choices, as all choices are accompanied by emotional factors like greed and envy or generosity and kindness, one can move forward in life with a positive attitude towards one's self, life itself, and other people. Otherwise, one ends up suffering from any number of addictions, since an addict is a person who allows, especially, the emotional factor of greed to overshadow any feelings of remorse or regret. So s/he remains stuck in the past.
