a collection of life's choices

Each and every person is a collection of choices he has made in life. From what we eat, listen, do and do all these with, all of it are conscious choices made each and everyday. These choices mould him and govern him and control him and make him the person that he is. Initially he is the one making the choice, as governed by free will and then the choices make him.

For each and every time we make a choice, we choose what we want to live with and how. We choose one path over the other, closing doors as we go along, and though we might believe that we would or could go back and have a look at what we had left behind, the path has already changed directions and does not remain the same. The choice is made. We may feel that we are going back to what we may have rejected earlier, to explore, but the circumstances and the reality of the same has changed, and thus it is an overall new choice and not the desired one.

But what does one do, if one regrets the choices that one has made and realizes that some things cannot be changed? Is it then, the ego which holds us back, or is it logic or is it that really that the choice just does not exist any more?
