Ever feel foolish about certain decisions?

Sometimes we take certain decisions that  later prod us as being foolish and impractical, and wreck our peace with doubts, sadness and regret. I recently bought a beautiful painting which I had requested my cousin to paint for me.Since I wanted a large sized one she told me that four sheets of handmade paper would need to be joined and the joint would be there.Somehow hoping that the joints would get camafloged I told her to proceed with the work. However, after getting it home I regretted my decision and kept looking at the joints. I felt foolish and unhappy with myself. Then I decided to change the way I look at the painting and get honest with myself. As i looked at it I realized hat it was a beautiful piece with amazing colour combination which lit up the lobby. The joints were there but not so visible from a distance and in no way diminish the beauty of the work. If I distanced myself from the need to have a perfection  so that others could admire it then I was at peace.Yes, I probably could have opted for smaller size at hindsight but life is about making choices and learning to live with them happily. So, I choose to live with a large painting with certain imperfections but otherwise perfect because it is colorful and happy in totality.Its the whole that counts not the parts.
