hindsight is 20/20

You are responsible for the consequences that come from the choices you make. Also, hindsight is 20/20. Sometimes that leads to being responsible for things you sometimes wish you didn’t choose.

I guess we have all been there. When all of a sudden you have bit off more than you intended to chew. Or you made a decision not knowing what other choices there were. It happens for insignificant things, like when you are at a restaurant and you order pizza for no other reason except that they are known for their pizza. Then when your famous pizza arrives you sit there envying your friend who ordered the burger, or salad, or pasta because that is what you actually wanted.

But you made a choice. So, you are left to eat a pizza and envision eating a juicy burger, crispy salad, or delicious pasta. And suddenly it doesn't matter if the pizza is famous. You didn't want it in the first place.

Hindsight is 20/20. For-sight, however, is not.
