Feelings and Emotions Continued

The hard part about feelings and emotions is that some people get caught in the aftermath. Sometimes, you make a bad decision and end up hurting people that you love. Genuinely love. People that you care about. People that you want to know the rest of your life. 

And you mess up. Big time. Not like "picked up the wrong kind of pickles at the store" mess up - like "change the course of the lives of multiple people all at once" mess up.

But you didn't realize it until many, many years later. Which just makes it exponentially worse, because now everyone has invested time and effort to get where they are. 

So what do you do? 

Do you stay in the life you chose, even though you now believe you were wrong? 

Do you stay because any change will hurt so many? 

Do you stay because you are indebted? 

Do you stay to wait it out, to see if things will get better? 

Do you stay?

Or do you admit you were wrong? What would that do to everyone? Even if no big life changes occurred, how would it change how people feel? 

What is all the pain and suffering worth? 

How do you measure that?

And what if you're wrong again?
