It is the intuition and gift that our soul tries to communicate to us. The spirit that stops you from making stupid mistakes. When in doubt, chose 20/20 hindsight means if you put your hand on an open flame you will be burned, common sense from the brain that is not used to it's full capacity. Perfect vision will never be achieved. What feels right to do and what feels good in the moment is the decision we all should make.

Opticians decided on what a normal person should see at 20 feet. So if you're 20/20 you have "perfect" vision. It is also used to describe how a person perceives the world around him - relationships, current events etc. So 20/20 in this case means you're not deluded, and yes you can acquire it by being a critical thinker and learning to observe honestly.

20/20 hindsight means it is always easier to see an entire situation and the best outcome after the fact because you have the advantage of experience when thinking about it.
So, if you can learn from history you will make better decisions in the future.

No, it is not possible to acquire... it means that you would have perfect vision up close and in distance (well as close to perfect as you can get) while looking at something that is 20 feet away. Hence 20/20.. if that was really confusing... Sorry! I hope it helped you though! :-) But that is propabally not correct so seek other answers instead!!!

It means you learn from your mistakes. 20/20 vision is perfect. Thus, if you go back and understand why what you did was a mistake, you'll be better at avoiding similar mistakes in the future. Less mistakes mean more happiness.

The saying is "Hindsight is 20/20". It means you see things perfectly when you have time to look back and think about it afterwards, but when things are happening you might not really understand what is going on.

It means that you see things a lot more clearly when you look back on them then when they are happening to you at the present. You can find that you can see the mistakes you've made after you've made them and suffered the consequences. Then your "hindsight" is "20/20".
