recently, someone said i was afraid to feel regret. that i was being stubborn.
Just for the sake of being stubborn.

i disagree.
i am not afraid to feel regret. i submit that i have lived with it for a while and found life can be much happier without it. and have hence decided never to feel regret again. no matter what happens. i shall not regret it. i know i know. there are stupid things i regret. like losing my winter coat to a slimy ***** thief [ yes you are right. I DO have some lingering resentment issues ... :P ]
but for the important stuff. i submit that emotions are a choice. and hey! if i want to live in partial denial by denying myself some emotion. i say it can be done, and i'll do it.

i also submit that everyone has a base theory that their entire lives are built upon. something like my daddy is the strongest or the smartest. or my mommy is always right. or that hindus and christians are bad and muslims are good [ for those slimy ****** terorists [[ yes there is a LOT OF RESENTMENT there ... ]. you take away that cornerstone of their theory and the you shake their very core. most ppl can't admit that their parents are just human. for a while i was actually very interested to see the effects of telling ppl, that their parents were mortal. you'd be surprised how many ppl just refused to think about their or their loved one's mortality. OR that those loved one's were not infallible. now that was surprising to me. coz logically speaking you KNOW that no one is perfect. yet you can't see it. or you KNOW that god exists. and even for a second you CANNOT think that maybe what you believe with all your grey cells could possibly be wrong??

[ do i even have a point here?? or am i just rambling?? ]

what i'm trying to say is that all ppl subconsciously or consciously live by some theory. which is formed by their understanding of the world. as you know its documented that shaking the foundations of that theory tends to produce severe trauma. which is like saying that the first time you realize your parents are just humans like everyone else or santa claus is not real or mebe just mebe god does not exist and there is no after life and no heaven or hell. for all we know, everything could just be a random coincidence and a statistical anamoly.

but then as anon said
"if we're the only one's out there in the universe, it seems like an awful waste of space"

;P
