Had I known!!!
A word that would always come when actions have been carried out. Then why can't actions be weighed before it is done? Why can't people calm down to look into some decisions before executing? Or are we too busy to pause and reflect or we are too fast in making certain decisions.
I've lost so many things in life that today when I reflect I say to myself, “had I known”. But what can I do? It is too late to repair. I once had a very sweet friend that was more than a friend to me. He would do things my brother would never do for me and I never saw those things while he did them bit I only complain about the things he never did.
There was a time I was so sick and needed blood, my friend was a universal donor, he gave me his blood to live. When I say he was more than a brother, believe me. We kept going back and front in our relationship until one day, I picked a quarrel with him and started nagging like a woman. He kept explaining to me until he got tired and left. I kept giving him attitude and he kept enduring.
One day, I made up my mind to let him know that he would be leaving my apartment because I wanted to stay alone. He begged me not to do that with him. He explained that he had no place to go to, but I didn't care. When he finally left, I thought I had peace of mind until I needed a help that only him could give me at that moment. Ah, I cried and regretted, “Had I know”, I wouldn't have been so cruel to him.
Just like some of us today, we don't think over our actions, we just carry out actions and regret later. It's better to think, reflect on actions before acting them to avoid “had I known” later.
I learnt the hard way how to treat people who have been so good to you. I have been working seriously on it and expect you to do same. Life is too short to let the good people in your life go.
