Tragic Choices

We all eventually become the right person at the wrong time... There are plenty of things I wish I could have done differently in the past. Sure, if I could go back, I would make better choices (knowing what I know now), but that version of myself from the past would probably always make the same mistakes. Whether it’s knowing the right thing to do, having the perfect words for the moment, or seizing an opportunity that rarely comes along in a lifetime. Sometimes we get it right, and we truly are the right person at the right time. Occasionally, we really mess things up and we feel the sting of being the wrong person at the wrong time. What I find curious is this: Given what I have said, would you rather be the right person at the wrong time, or the wrong person at the right time? Both seem tragic.
