Carpe diem
Gather ye rose-buds while ye may; Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying.~Robert Herrick
All I have to say is I have a far too responsive and functional "carpe-diem" gene. I do stupid things -- a lot -- simply because I can and they seem new and exciting. Sometimes they are, sometimes they're not.
But at least I'm enjoying them?
Sigh... the problem is, people who say they're living their life with no regrets rarely are. Because such a life does not exist. We all feel rotten over dumb crap we've done. But all we can really do -- especially once it's forgiven -- is keep slogging along and make the best of a sorry job. I shall pass this way but once. And I'm admittedly having a damn good time. Most of the time.
Except when I reach even more gargantuan levels of stupidity (which I keep thinking is not possible!)
I'm a being in conflict...
