It's better to have

I have become a free-for-all philosopher of sorts for you all, and could not be happier with this development. Whether it is because you desire my input, or desire to give some form of direction to my madness, it doesn't bother me, I am happy to discuss whatever comes up.

A comment I got recently form someone named "You-Know-Who" (which I find ironic because I have no idea who they are) asked if I thought it was better to regret something that you had done, or something that you thought you should have done but never did.

This is a loaded question of course because it burns you down to the core of who you are. It is my belief that there are two types of people out there, and they each have their own kind of regret. There are the planners, who look out into the future, see the possible courses of their actions, and act accordingly. These people tend to look before they leap, and often end up regretting having not taken the plunge more often.

Then there are the doers. These people act on instinct. Planning is impossible for these brash go-getters. They usually get burned, because they never seem to realize that that orange warm thing is actually a flame. Obviously they are more likely to regret something they have done.


I am something of an anomaly. I look into the future, see the path that is fraught with painful possibilities, and walk down it anyways. I do this because most of life is destiny in my eyes, but because I can't see it coming, it just seems like luck. Because you never know what is coming, i think it is best to try everything you can, and not worry too much about the consequences.

I'm a romantic at heart, so let us go back to Shakespeare. It is better to have loved and lost, then never to have loved at all.


I think that sums up my life.
