| Shame - hatred of the self. We can't help regretting things. When we're young we do more stupid things. When we're old we regret anything stupid more, because we have less time left to stop making mistakes. Sometimes we consciously balance things up, knowing the consequences of either action in advance. We say to ourselves "This is risky, if I do it I could end up being hurt. But life is for living, so go for it." and we do it. Then, when we do end up getting hurt, we're surprised just how much we regret it. We turn around to ourselves and say "Well, I did my thing and now I have to face the music." We face the music, but it's louder than we thought. We lived our lives, but is it still living when it hurts? |
