How to use hindsight in a sentence?
responsibility! americans love to say-it is, what it is. I, ras cardo say:- responsibility is foresight, not hindsight. It is looking far beyond the- here and now of the consequences which will most surely flow from our actions or in-actions. We must show young people how to-look for it, embrace it, and use it by being it. This is what we should mean when we say-it is, what it is. It is something , much better when its shared.
**(C)(P)-THE URGENCY OF NOW-SITUATION DICTATES THAT WE ACT WITH DUE DILIGENCE AND COMPETENCE TO GET AND ACHIEVE OUR FOCUSED OBJECTIVES. DIFFICULT CONSEQUENCES MAY ARISE FROM DIFFICULT DECISIONS MADE. HINDSIGHT MAY ALWAYS TRY TO VALIDATE FORESIGHT, BUT ONLY IF FORESIGHT WAS PREDICTABLE IN ITS OUTCOMES!
Hindsight is always twenty-twenty.

In hindsight, I wish that had not become law, but it is the law, and the only chance we have is either to amend it or for the courts to say that it has an unconstitutional foundation.
