Think about your life's biggest regret.
The biggest mistake you ever made.
That one incident or person or thing that changed everything.
That one pockmark in time that you always thought if given the chance, you would go back and set right.
Now imagine that it's staring you in the face once again.
You didn't have to go back to that time or that place or that person, it's right where you are standing.
In the here and now.
It may not be the exact same person, place or thing.
But you know it's going to have the same outcome.
At least, that's what all the signs say and the warning bells scream out.
You think you can never be too sure.
Or can you?
What would you do?

One pockmark? ... In my case it's more like Om Puri!
Nothing leaps to mind. I'll have to give it some quiet thought- not much chance today.
Turn around and run... :)
But maybe you should bake... the results are much more interesting!

Set it right,get it straight... so that when I look back again, it ain't there.
Then, celebrate.
@Swb - What you saying men? Your skin is so clear? Teri khoobsurati ka raaz kya hai ;-)
@L - It's a hypothetical question, not saying it's happening to me. Unless you want to bake ;-)
@CoherentBlah - I like your answer!
That really made me think of an incident in my life when i was younger and "not so wise"...wish I could've done it better then....will always regret it!I would love to have a chance to re-do....
edna st.vincent millay, my favourite poet and philosopher, once said that life's not one damn thing after the other, it's one damn thing over and over! i suppose you know.
