One flash in time -- and the moment is gone. How many times in your life have you allowed that one flash, that one moment to cause a course of action for the rest of your life? One small moment, perhaps a seemingly insignificant moment, to chart your course.
Perhaps this introspective ideal is more pertinent to the middle-aged and elderly. However, young people can benefit also -- simply by acknowledging that these single entries into the diary of life may predict the outcome(s) of some future incident. Parents often try to steer their children away from these moments, especially the more difficult ones. Having lived through them already, the parent can assist the child in perhaps taking an alternate course, and thus avoiding the introspective moments of doubt.
Some life-lessons must be learned from experience only, no matter how much others want for this not to be so. If only I had said this, or only if I hadn't done that, then life would perhaps be so different. The thing is, one can't tell just by looking at the path sometimes if it is the best choice, or even the easier of the choices. The life lesson here is to not to allow your life to be rule or directed by those moments. Give a great deal of consideration to them if at all possible. And live those moments to the fullest.
