Summary

This quote is a reminder that dwelling on past mistakes or missed opportunities is futile. Just as we cannot change the past, regretting and longing for what is lost will not bring it back. The passage of time cannot undo the consequences of a single moment's decision. It highlights the importance of living in the present and making the most of each moment, rather than being consumed by regrets for the past.
