what knowledge have you received through personal experience, do you regret the most?

Answer 1

Knowledge... I have all kinds of knowledge packed into my brain. Sometimes I wish I didn't have to go through hell to obtain it. But, as life goes, you need to fall before you can get up.
The one I regret the most... This year I learned what it actually means to be a woman in all meanings of the word. I fell in love, deeply ana madly. I traveled half the globe to be reunited with the man I love and we got engaged.
Then he turned out to be mentally ill. He started abusing me. And I stood there, not daring to fight back because I loved him.
Then i got pregnant. Then I lost the child.
And then I left him and I told the police everyhting he subjected me to.
I learned how to be a woman - how to be the one who cooks and cleans, how to be a gentle lover, a best friend, a mother. And I learned how to be strong. This is what being a woman is all about - strenght. To go though all of the crap every day and still wake up feeling on top of your game. Recognizing and practicing forgiveness and compassion even when it goes against you.
Holding on and fighting back even when you are afraid. Taking care of yourself, because noone else will. Taking responsibility not only for your life but of the life of you child.
Being a woman. Seems so simple, yet it is so complex of a task.

Answer 2

I found out the hard way that honesty is not always the best policy. I won't go into detail, but if not knowing something could spare someone alot of grief, and knowing would utterly shatter them, and the secret is maintained and the person lives a much better life, then whats the purpose? But i made the mistake of being honest and paid a dear price, as did a friend of mine. through no fault of my own, nor action or inaction, the secret was revealed and matters became quite grave. Things have never been the same since.

Answer 3

That no matter what decisions we make, or which fork in the road we travel, it is OK to admit that we did the wrong thing and that it is NEVER too late to go back and to try it differently. It doesn't matter if you go to college at 18 or 28 (as I did) if you want an education. That it is OK to learn a new activity as 70 as it is at 17. If you want something go for it, the rest of life will fall into place. The secret is trying...........

Answer 4

The knowledge is never regretable even if the experience was.

Answer 5

I regret nothing. Without all the crap I couldn't have come to my 'knowledge' The question should be, is anything we think we know really that bloody important? Cause when you really get down to it, when you get under it all, sometimes it's really hard to see the point. Is this the rough part of evolution?

Answer 6

At age 19, took the wrong fork in the road. I took the road less traveled and found out that I was very unsuited for that life. I should have stayed on the main road.

Answer 7

To stand up for myself. To not be so passive agressive. To see things differently. To not sell myself out. To not let others opinions of me affect me.
If I had learned this earlier there is much about my life I wouldn't have to look back on and say..."if I know then what I know now."

The important thing is that I have indeed learned.

Answer 8

Regrets companion is Hope...

When I was nineteen, I realized that I knew the difference between right and wrong. Prior to that realization, I was secure in innocence. Since then, I feel constantly challenged to choose right over wrong.

The challenge is like a thorn in my butt...

(oops...is it wrong to say butt?)

Answer 9

I don't regret any knowledge I've gained
other than unnecessary pain.

Answer 10

Just what human nature is and how thin the viel of civilsation is. How power corrupts and money causes more trouble than it ussually solves.
