"There is a proverb on this planet," Obi-Wan said quietly. "'Forgive and forget.'" If he had noticed the influx of children last weekend, he was not saying a word about it. There might have been a reason for that ( Read more... )

Not that either of these two know anything about this.

Well, shit.

Isabela was glad she'd remembered to bring her flask to class again.

Best. Coping. Methods. Ever.

Discussion: Regret and Forgiveness saddeserthermit November 25 2015, 14:44:45 UTC

Where does regret slip into self-loathing? Why is it sometimes easier to forgive others than ourselves? Or for some of you, why is it easier to forgive one's self than to forgive those around you? Are all regrets created equal?

Is there a mental limit you have for forgiving or excusing the same person?

"I had my personal worst day well early," said the fourteen year old. "So I had to learn to let go of regret right quick, or I woulda DROWNED in it." In fact, wee Lottie had spent her weekend hiding in her closet doing just that. So this was pretty fresh on her mind. "As for other people . . . at a certain point if they're doin the same thing over and over, that's just who they are. Even if they say they're regrettin it, they're not learning from it. So you need to move on."

"So would you say you live without regret?" Obi-Wan asked. "And if so, is that a preferable way to live?"

RE: Re: Discussion: Regret and Forgiveness bestatmystery November 25 2015, 15:47:11 UTC

"Not totally," Lottie said. "I'm still human. But I feel it and then I move on. It works for me. And it made me immune to the giant hope devouring walnut that tried to eat my town, so."

They both have their own perspectives on this one.

Re: Talk to the Teachers saddeserthermit November 25 2015, 14:45:57 UTC

Obi-Wan held no special feelings about regret. Really.

Anakin preferred to drown in regret. It was super healthy.
