A Regret & A Resolve

A Regret & A Resolve

I have but one regret in life

That I wasted a lot of time

On people, pursuits, and things

That amounted to nothing.

I know what you gonna say

My victories, I shouldn't downplay

Somethings weren't just meant to be.

Life is a mixed bag, I agree.

But I do not lament over failures

I only regret the squandered hours

That I could've used wisely

For adventure, play, and enquiry.

As Sri Krishna said, "Life is a leela."

So, do not be attached to the mela

Experience and savor what it offers

And then proceed on your endeavors.

But only pursue the vital few

That's all that should matter to you

Discard all that's inconsequential

And your life will be worthwhile.
