Musar for Chagigah 31:9

כל המסתכל בד' דברים רתוי לו שלא בא לעולם כו': בשלמא מה למעלה מה למטה מה לאחור לחיי אלא לפנים מה דהוה הוה

(Mishnah:) Anyone who investigates these four things, it would be better for him not to have been born... (what is above [the edge of the universe], what is below, what is before [creation], and what is after [during the end of days].) (Gemara:) It makes sense [regarding] what is above, what is below, and what is after, but [regarding what happened] before, whatever happened, happened!
