Hindsight Is Never 20/20

Popular myth: hindsight is 20/20. It's not. The ability to see history with perfect vision is impossible because we still have emotional ties to whatever it is we're looking back on. Perhaps we see it from a more mature perspective or with a more open (or more closed) mind, but perfectly and with completely unbiased judgement? Never.

I am usually someone who does think hindsight is 20/20, but I've never thought about this before, and it's so true. Thanks for sharing this perspective!
