Would you have signed up for your current life circumstances if you knew them in advance?

To be honest, I think only very few people are [i]really[/i] happy with most of the paths they've chosen.

[i]But... Whenever I'm in doubt about that,
I imagine myself that I could've made worse choices, I could've hurt more people, I could've become an insensible person, I could've followed the path of both or either one of my parents, I could've chosen not to build a career and waste my life (more). I could've been in an abusive relationship, I could've been with people who understood me even less or only try to take advantage of me, I could have some very bad disease which could've left me with no opportunity to even better life and just die after all the misery, I could have not had a cousin I really love and try to protect, she could've hated me in stead of feeling that same sisterly bond with me, I could have not met people who influenced my life in a positive way because it was all by chance, ... [/i]

So many things could have happened, yet they didn't. When I think about that, my life suddenly doesn't seem so bad anymore :-))
