Sometimes going thru the infinite turns and surprises in life, you are often brought to situations that you believe you were the first one to experience. Some of these are pleasant and you feel privileged to be a part of it… Then again there are times where you simply dont like having this ‘experience’. You look left, then right and then left again but there is no let up.

Some choose to sprint away and ignore the situation till the situation disappears into the background. Some choose to face it and fight their way out. Some find their own unique solution… Whatever we choose deep down we hope that we never have to be in that situation ever again.

Then one fine day you notice someone else going thru the exact predicament you went thru. You see the way they are handling it and it reminds you of what you did. All of sudden you see flaws in what you did and what you should have done. You wonder if you had stepped back for a moment and looked again could it have worked out better.

And then you realize the important thing is not how you handled it or how it should have been handled but rather it is the lesson that the situation carried along with it. Sometimes its subtle and sometimes more pronounced but in the end there is always a lesson.
