Choice and suffering

Sometimes, out of the blue, regret hits you.

Regret over past actions.

Regret over bad choices.

Truly, having to make choices is to live in misery.

Choice = suffering

To eliminate suffering, eliminate choices.
Realize that things are exactly as they are supposed to be.

Make peace with all your choices, even the pathetic ones!

The possibility of making the wrong choice and the assumption of having made one are the two factors capable of causing enormous mental agony.

To cope with this, one has to stick to one's choices which have already been made.

Avoid being in a position where you have to choose.

Ultimately, there is neither a right nor a wrong choice.

Free will and choice are causes of great suffering.

Accept your position in life.

Accept your circumstances in life.

Accept all the 'wrong' choices you made.

Create a routine. This reduces restlessness.

Ultimately, in truth, there is no 'choice' to be made.
