"They" say hindsight is 20-20. This is 2020...do you have a lot of hindsight?

[Phoenix]

I just thought of this today. I'm going to have to mull this over. What do you think?

 

[Aunt Marg]

No hindsight from me, just thankful I survived 2020.

 

[Aneeda72]

I try not to think, it wears me out. .

So you haven't learned anything from what's happened to you?

 

[grahamg]

Yes, we can't go on like this!

 

[Don M.]

I could probably make a long list of poor decisions I've made over the years. Luckily, the good decisions have outweighed the bad, so I just continue to try to think before I act, and hope things work out.

 

[Aunt Marg]

So you haven't learned anything from what's happened to you?

What happened?

 

[Fyrefox]

Hindsight may be 20-20, but the year 2020 just poked us in the eyes, hit us on the head, and slapped our collective faces, all the while insulting us. It was kind of like being in a viciously bad Three Stooges routine...

What I first thought was the worst decision I ever made turned out to be the best decision I ever made.

 

[Phoenix]

What happened?

You had a bunch of kids. Did you learn from that?

It's good to know. Some of my best decisions turned out to be the opposite. The good thing is I learned stuff from that.

[grahamg]

Learn what?

What was causing it maybe, (would be my father's irreverent response when questioned as to why he had so many children! ).

 

[Chrise]

I closed the barn door after the cattle got out....feeling. Then trying to reverse that.

 

[Knight]

Hindsight in this instance would only come if a person had their head up their a$$

 

[Aneeda72]

Learn what?

Gosh, @Aunt Marg i thought you had learned where kids came from a long time ago. A stork brings them, unless you have a cabbage patch, in which case, you can pick you own. . The first time my DS son asked me where he was adopted from I said the clearance isle at the Walmart. “Mommmmm, no”.

 

[Phoenix]

Learn what?

So you wasted your time? Everything that happens to us can teach us something. Everything.

 

[Aunt Marg]

So you wasted your time? Everything that happens to us can teach us something. Everything.

In what way?

 

[Phoenix]

In what way?

You're a smart lady. You can figure it out.

My father was charged with the duty of closing the hatch on the hen house when he was a teenager. Unfortunately he managed t shut the fox in the coop along with the chickens, and when he opened it again next morning the fox ran out! .

Were there any dead chickens?

 

[grahamg]

Were there any dead chickens?

Oh yes, only the whole lot, (for some strange reason the fox decided not to play nicely! ).

 

[Phoenix]

It's in its DNA. It was doing what foxes do. I feel sorry for the chickens.

My maternal grandfather was interviewed on the subject by a tv crew back in the 1960s/1970s, and made the same point you've made funnily enough, (he was a local councillor for over thirty years, so spoke with some authority. ).

 

[gennie]

Hindsight is simply the understanding of a past event and there are very few of 2020's important events that are understandable although many could have been foreseen and perhaps mitigated.

 

[Sunny]

No 2020 hindsight, but I've had enough of 2020!

Hopefully, 2021 will be a better year.
