On hind sight - If only.............. / myLot

- If only I knew that it is just not just the present generation around me that clams up but that is the way everywhere I would not have felt deprived of involvement and got hurt about it. - If only I looked at my maid in the new light after she got married but blindly trusted her that led her to rob us. - If only I knew that even siblings get jealous of each other I would not have talked about my success in life with them expecting them to rejoice. There are many more 'if only' situations in my life - more later. Do you have those 'if only' situations in your life?

oh dear, yer maid robbed'ja? i'm so saddened by this news. folks're kinda funny'n regards to many thingies that i jest don't comprehend. i oft think 'f the 'if only' schtuff 'n then remind myself that if'n i'd done schtuff diff'rently, that don't mean the outcomes would'a differed that much. all that i've been through mentally 'n physically throughout my lifetime's helped to shape me into the tired ol' soul i am today.

You call your soul tired and you say your experience shaped you into it. Some consolation this

I have too many "if only". Also the maid we had when I was a kid robbed us, it seems common practice.

We had implicit faith in her. She was a mild thing and her husband must have brainwashed her into robbing us. I have forgiven her as she was an exemplary maid.

I have lots of If Only I had done this or that but then where would I be today? So I no longer worry about the What Ifs any longer. I never could have afforded a maid.

Having a maid or having more than one is common here in our households.

It hurts when we trust some one then get cheated by them. Your maid must be trusted by you that is why she could rob you, very unfortunate incident. Nothing can be done except we learned a great lesson.

In the 9 years she was with me she did not even touch a pin. But after marriage she got influenced by her rogue husband.
