Life aims

Dear Reader,

Do you have life aims?

No I am not talking about 'ambitions' or 'goals'. I am talking about what you strive to achieve through your actions, what you want when you are nearing your last breath in life. 

For the longest time now, I have had mainly one (and several smaller ones of course) such aim. It is live and not, both with no or minimal regrets. So far, I have done my best to achieve that. Sometime, when I am just about to fall asleep I ask myself  ' Do you regret something?' So far, there have been only two regrets in life, one not giving a blanket to someone when that person kept saying she felt cold and secondly was not knowing earlier about a dear friend.  But the first incident taught me further that I should never have such regrets ever again, even if it means yelling or fighting or crying in front of someone. 

And the second incident, I did not have any control about. I have spoke about it enough, I don't regret things like 'not being in touch' because I did my best, I even met her whenever both of us were in the same city. She did not like it otherwise I would probably gone and visited her. But if only I knew she was gone, I could have been there for her parents and shared their heartache, just a little. Such things, make me realise how impersonal technology is and that is the reason I don't care too much about 'SNS' (I'm not comparing but I have been consistent about that for a long time now and I like myself more for it). I rather email people or write letters or call them. I may not do that often, but when I do, you know I am talking to you and not to your 'cute display picture' or 'funny forward' or 'nice status message'.One fine day when I get around to it (or bother logging into), I MAY actually go off web more than ever but I think even that needs time. And I have more real world things to do in that time.

And to be fair I have another 'almost regret' but that I only think of when the going gets very very tough and wonder if that would have been an easy way out. But when I get sober I know I made correct decisions. 


Especially since life is so very short, even in the future, I will strive to live a life without regrets,

How about you dear person?

What are you life aims? Care to share? I would like to learn from you.
