From my Drafts - written two years ago but decided to post it anyway:
I wish life has this keyboard function. It would be better to erase past mistakes and live as if it didn't happen at all. You will never experience being hurt and hurting someone. I have actually thought life would be perfect then. If only...
However, having the power to undo things will rob you off the lessons you could have learned from the experience. Imagine yourself hurting someone -- if you have the power to undo, you just use it and voila! It was as if the person you have hurt was not hurt at all. You'll never feel guilty and be filled with remorse. However, you may also have the tendency to do it again because anyway you can undo it.
I remember I have hurt someone it the past. It was so bad. I am so bad. Actually bad is an understatement. I would give up anything to undo what I did. But, what is done is done. That event in my life made me realize the most important thing in life - you make mistakes but that doesn't define you as person. If I were able to undo the things I have done, I would have lost the lessons. I learned from that experience and vow never to repeat it again. I also apologized to the person I've hurt. It took me a lot of guts to actually ask the person to talk to me. I wanted to apologized to him personally. Although it took me years before I said my sorry, I did it anyway. We finally laid the issue to rest. I guess saying sorry is the best thing I ever did.
I can say that person's over me now and I couldn't be more happier.
