Related: About this forumHindsight - Foresight - Insight 🔥
Hindsight- understanding of a situation or event only after it has happened or developed. Imagine living our lives like this. Ive very often put myself in situations where I only discover the mistake Ive made after Ive made it! Though, through that, Ive learned that you can at least learn from your mistakes.Its better to put ourselves in a position where we seldom make mistakes. For those who often find themselves continually coming across mistakes theyve made after its made, I always like to say, What good is making a mistake if you dont learn from it. At least when you consider
Foresight the action of predicting what will happen or be needed in the future, you begin to see a difference. Here I understand that prudence plays a big role in the matter. Where with hindsight you realized the mistake after it was made, with foresight you perceive the advantages and disadvantages of a decision before you make it so as to avoid a mistake altogether. Living life this way is very often the most difficult and that is because, sadly, thinking before both speaking and acting is very seldom done. Why is that the case? Its because thinking is a very difficult thing to do thats why so few people do it. Now as far asInsight the capacity to gain an accurate and deep intuitive understanding of a person or thing, is concerned, it is probably the most important of the three. Why would I say that? This is because insight encompasses all the others. Think about it. When you gain a new understanding of anything and therefore apply it in the right situation, youve exercised wisdom. You basically make an informed decision. Practicing insight involves asking one question, Is it a good idea to do this or not? that way you see with foresight the dangers and rewards of your decision, you know with hindsight more about the problems you didnt anticipate, and understand with insight-not only how to avoid them in the future-but also the consequences-both good and bad-of the decision.
