Doing the right thing

Is there ever a time when you feel that you have the the right thing that you're suppose to do but turns out completely the other way? i'm sure you've had this kind of encounters before. Like they always say, sometimes doing the right thing is not soing the right thing.

At times I thought I made a right choice of action to settle a certain set back in your daily life. After revealing this course of action taken to your parents, partners, friend and etc... they seem to think that you have made a fool out of yourself by making that choice. However, they failed to realize that at that juncture in time, that was the only option that looked like the best option to take in order to solve the dillema that you were facing.

Instead of supporting the choices you made, you were riddiculed either personally or in full view of the public without any hesitations. This brings me back to the point where I start to think to myself on whether I made the right choice or not. This deep soul searching process will lead to many negative thoughts and probably one or two positve thoughts. 

I was once told that to know by a dear friend of mine "Never regret the choices you make" but some how I can't see through this rationale as each decision I take seem to be heading nowhere. I've gone through all the possibilities in the situation and personalley felt that that is the choice to be made but somehow I was wrong. Do I regret the decission? 

There were many choices that I've made in the past were not quite good but I managed to pull through it and made it work to the best I could. Certain choices tend to haunt you down eveytime something similiar crops up and looking for the right alternative decissions seems to be getting harder and harder each time it crops up. 

They say learn from experience or learn from your mistakes. I wonder how many times will we have to go through the same scenario if the scenario had tens of thousands of solutions but only one is the right one. In other words, we just have to keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again till you find the right one I guess. Even if you were given come advice by someone who has far more experience than you, would the solution to the problem be the right one in another person's eyes?

Making decisions in life is far more complicated than any algebra questions put together as in maths, there is always 1 answer to a question. To get there is just 1 simple formula. Some how this is not the actual simple equation that helps us solve our daily mystery questions.

Looks like this will another never ending story if we keep debating on this issue as there is never a perfect answer to your questions in life. I just hope that we all make the nearest answers and make up for the rest later in life.

Hope this gives you something to ponder on as I've been pondering on this for years now and I've not found the right solution to it.

Till my next posting....
