"Dead people receive more flowers than the living because regret is stronger than gratitude."
Doesn't that seem wrong? While that exact fact may not be true, the sentiment it expresses rings true. Unfortunately, we tend to take people for granted and let grudges go on for far too long. We assume tomorrow is there and that we have years ahead to sort things out if we wish too. What we forget is that while tomorrow will come, we don't know who will be there to see it. So while we all have the right to be the champions for ourselves, we cannot afford to forget the people in our lives. Sometimes we have to forgive and accept the apologies that never come and be the person who us there for others because we know what it is to be without someone.
Remember life is too short to count points and air our grievances. We have a choice, regret or gratitude.
