Where Can I buy Some Hindsight?

It's highly prevalent in the Media, in the Fora (Forums?), and is used, very consistently, to demonstrate where The Government, The NHS, The Military, etc., exercised the wrong solution to whatever challenge was presented.

You know how it works, a plan is put into place, then within a week or so, someone will jump in, with a posting, usually with a cut and pasted media sheet, to say how silly that decision was, and what the correct action should have been.

Could it be that many decisions could be better if we knew what all the outcomes would be? (Rather Than Might Be)

I am not a great fan, of Hindsight, as I am not too unhappy with the outcome of many of the decisions made in life.

But, I'd like to try some out!

Does anyone have any Hindsight to spare?

(Must be 20/20 vision)

Where can I get some?

Can't see any on Amazon or eBay!

Re: Where Can I buy Some Hindsight?

Ted, Did you know that.... Hindsight is a wonderful thing?

Anyway, for now, have you tried asking a ‘gloater’?
They’d know, as they are always quick to jump in to gloat at somebody’s mistakes or downfall.

Somebody's mistakes are someone's opportunities to learn and improve.

Re: Where Can I buy Some Hindsight?

Ted, when my kids were three, they went to a birthday party at which the hostess gave each of the kids a disposable camera to take photos. It was a clever idea and the kids had loads of fun.

When we picked up the developed photos, I realized that my son had taken his pictures right at his eye lever. There were 24 photos, and of those about 20 included bottoms of the mothers helping at the party.

If it's hindsight you want, I have plenty!

Politicians can always get hold of it, particularly ex-politicians who have moved on to private ventures or have retired. They always know how to run the country, even though they didn't do it themselves; also ex England footballers always know exactly what went wrong

To have hindsight you need to be clairvoyant.
