Mostly I have no regrets even in my checkered past. Only two things stand out. One was choosing to go out to CA in the 60’s to smoke pot and get laid instead of applying to medical school and the other was getting that first round of Covid Vax.
I really don’t understand people who look back at their life and say, “Everything I did was right. I have never made a bad decision.”
I encouraged my wife to get the swine flu vaccine when she was pregnant in 2009. Our son had idiopathic heart issues for the first year of his life (he is fine now).
I was a big supporter of the Iraq war.
I was a big Cruz guy in the 2016 primary and said a lot of bad stuff about Trump here on FR.
I used to be a big Israel supporter.
There are lots of things I was wrong about.
The important thing to do is realize when you are wrong and figure out what lead to you being wrong.
In 2009, I still had a kernel of trust in big pharma and the media. After reflecting on my mistake and learning from it, I DIDN’T allow anyone in my family to take the COVID shot.
In 2003, I trusted the Republican party and believed they wouldn’t lead us into war needlessly and that any war we fought we be for good purposes. After seeing that it was all based on lies, I now understand that both the Dems and Reps are war pigs who make money off of the wars. That’s why I don’t support them trying to provoke WW3 in Ukraine and Israel.
After seeing what Trump DID as opposed to what Cruz SAID, I learned that you should not judge a politician by what they say, but instead by what they have done and what price they have paid to do what they have done.
I started digging into the history of Israel and Zionism after learning about Epstein and Israeli influence over American politics. I learned so much that they never teach in history books, show on the news or portray in popular American entertainment culture.
It’s good to reflect on what you got wrong and why you got it wrong.
