Morals










There's some things that I regret,

Some words I wish had gone unsaid,

Some starts,

It had some bitter endings,
Been some bad times I've been through,
Damage I cannot undo,
Some things,
I wish I could do all all over again,
But it don't really matter,
Life gets that much harder,
It makes you that much stronger,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were,
Lessons learned.

Chorus:
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,
Every change, life has thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every scar,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned.

There's mistakes that I have made,
Some chances I just threw away,
Some stops,
I never should've taken,
Been some signs I didn't see,
Hearts that I hurt needlessly,
Some wounds,
That I wish I could have one more chance to mend,
But it don't make no difference,
The past can't be rewritten,
You get the life you're given,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were,
Lessons learned.

(Repeat Chorus)

Chorus Bridge:
And all the things that break you,
Are all the things that make you strong,
You can't change the past,
Cause it's gone,
And you just gotta move on,
Because it's all,
Lessons learned.

(Repeat Chorus)


There will come a time when we realize the mistakes that we've done in the past, the time when we get to feel regret and reflect of what have we done. Often, we would always think that we are on the right side, but that isn't the answer. It's always about the compromising also, the way to reflect is to think of what we have done also that pave way for us to commit that error. And thats the time when we would regret things.

When regret comes, it would definitely come into our minds, "Sana hindi ko na lang ginawa yun" or "ang tanga tanga ko kase, hinayaan ko pang magka ganoon," or "bakit pa kase nangyare toh" or "sana noon palang naisip ko na"
but thats okay, we're humans, we're not perfect, we all make mistakes and mistakes are all part of our life, we will never learn if we never make mistakes, it is a part of our lives that surely give us one of the most valuable lessons we ought to receive. All must do, is admit our mistakes, and learn from them.

Sometimes, a chapter of our lives would end up not of the same way we wanted it. There are so many good and bad times you will go through, sometimes you were to blinded to see what was reality, when it happens, there we go, wishing that we could just go back and do it all over again. But it doesn't make things right, a time machine will not be necessary to solve the problem, we ought to face it, and not run away, accept the fact that it is happening and it is reality. Life isn't just a simple game of tic tac toe. Where there is only one level per game, life is like sudoku, it gets tougher as the puzzle number increases, and as it get tougher, there, our strength would be tested, and as we go through the puzzle, being so damn pressured, from there, we learn the lesson, and make it our own value in order to be strong,

As we go through this tests, we often wanna give up due to the hardships, and of course, as humans, we just wanna sit in a corner, cry our heart out, and wondering how we would be able to get through all this.  It's okay, do not take it as a bad thing, life's gonna throw us so many things that will make us change for good, a change that is for the benefit of one's metanoia or change of heart. Well, a good change okay, not a bad change. It will all start from the hurts, pains and sorrows, but don't be sad, cry if you must, but after the tears, be thankful, (this isn't sarcasm okay?) because of that pain, we find the lesson that we must learn, some things will be lost along the way, but then, you will gain something, definitely.

And also, we're not just the only who would get hurt, there are times that we ought to hurt someone else without us knowing it. Because of our pride and ego, we tend to lose control of ourselves and end up hurting other people. We thought that it is okay, (for ourselves)  but no, in the eyes of God, it's wrong, it wasn't the way we are suppose to be living. It is hard to accept, but we are ought to love one another as brothers and sister, just like how he loved us.

And, when we hurt someone, then realize our own mistake, again, we will regret it, and would wish there was a chance for us to mend all those broken pieces. In worst cases, some would regret, then find a way to make up, but then, it was too late. Well, others would also get a chance, but most of it, would end up in a melancholic ending.

The past is past, let it go, move on.
All those angst, let it go, it'll only kill you faster,
and besides, who are you not to forgive if the Lord is forgiving you for what you've done.
Keep this in mind, we are not a God to show people how proud you are,
we are all the same in the eyes of God, so don't make yourself superior.

Again, forgive the people that you hate,
cause we are all the same, you are not a God to be proud, we are all just a mere human being, capable of doing nothing without him.

Before you would end up regretting things,
clear your mind, reflect,
it will be ugly once you realize your mistakes, but then the people you have offended is already dead.
Do what you must do to make things right, we only have one life,
so don't waste anything that God has given you.
May it be materials or may it be a person,
you should even be thankful for all this.

Now, what are the things you regret?
And what have you learned from all those things?
Share, Theo would want to listen :)

Tis,

from the YEE,
to the HAW!!!!!
