confucius say
the taoist and the buddhist in my head are having an argument. of course, the buddhist will eventually win. so although the taoist says we can never screw anything up so badly that it cannot be fixed the buddhist says...
each moment we experience is finite and temporary. a missed opportunity can never be recaptured. what might have been is gone forever. all that is left is to make the most of the now.
or in confucius speak: you cannot step in the same stream twice.
so I guess we'll never know now, will we?
I tell my self there's no sense in mourning things that never were; it's just another way to be addicted to my dukkha. I wish I was good about listening to me. I wish lots of silly things.
