November 6
What if we had an eraser?
Todays, quote got me thinking. What if we did have an “eraser for life” that could alter the course of our decisions, or rather correct them? What would life be like if we could make changes here and there? Take back something we said or did or start a whole day over again? One one hand it sounds appealing but in reality it would be complete chaos.
If we were given the chance to erase certain moments we would probably end up erasing way too much, miss out on actually living and spend most of our time reviewing what we just did and thinking about erasing it. There is a strange freedom in knowing that each and every moment is unique and fleeting. You really do only have one shot to impress that person, find that parking space or answer the questions correctly. You can’t make the wrong choice, erase it and then try again. While there are times when I wish I did have a magic eraser, overall I don’t think we need or really deserve one.
When you draw a house and you don’t like the windows you can erase them and try again. In life, change isn’t that easy, and it shouldn’t be. What would simple victories be without the struggle it took to get there?
Today I am grateful that I don’t have a magic eraser for life…although once in a blue moon I wouldn’t mind being lent one, just for emergencies of course.
