Hindsight 20/20

=  to understand a past choice more clearly than at the moment of making the choice

hindsight = understanding of a situation or event only after it has happened

20/20 = perfect vision

When you reflect on a situation, or look back on it, you can see more clearly what you should have said, or done, than you could see when you were actually there in the moment

Ex:  “Hindsight 20/20,”  I should have said goodbye to her.  I didn’t know I would never see her again.

Ex:  “Hindsight is 20/ 20,” America probably should have never invaded Iraq.  The war only created more enemies.
