So the Lord was sorry he had ever made them and put them on the earth. It broke his heart. Genesis 6:6
Nietzsche asked the question "would you be prepared to live your life again in exactly the same way?"
This argument is based on the idea that life is brutal and full of suffering. But it presents me with the question, "what do I regret? What would I do differently?"
This strange verse in Genesis indicates that things have been bad in the past. Really bad. Genesis says that the Creator regretted becoming a parent. Freedom to be selfish and evil means that humans can be amazing, and can be horrendous.
What has happened has happened. We can not turn the clock back. Regret; what's the opposite? Could it be delight?
PRAYER: May I bring you delight.
