The title of this blog is indeed repetitive. Ironically, this is often the case with our regrets. We experience so much in our lives, so many ups and downs. It is impossible not to experience the cascade of fluctuating emotions. However, I have found that the bulk of pain lies not within the trauma of the actual experience, but in the reminiscing of past events. And, unless you've spent your entire life in solitary confinement, chances are you've enacted some undesirable behavior, at one point in time. However, the true display of madness shines forth when we lament over past actions. As the thoughts pop up we are tortured; shaken back to a position of fear, all the while there is nothing of threat standing before us. And if that weren't insane enough, these torturous thoughts lend themselves all too easily to further irrational madness, only driving the individual deeper into a state of regret. Now, if that weren't a sign of a sick and dangerously insane species, I don't know what is.
