It's been noted as falling apart, but it's really not that at all...
It's more of a feeling of pure regret almost to the point of internal combustion...
But before you put the gun to your head, remember what this is all about...
Remember what brought you here...
Try, even if you never knew to begin with...
And hopefully, it'll hit you like a fuckin semi-tractor trailer...
Hopefully you wont forget again.

Bleeting and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream... Wave upon wave of demented avengance march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream

    That's for you to interpret...

    we should NEVER regret anything we do. it's my philosophy that we are in the exact place we should be at all times. even if what we expected it to be is different. i take special pleasure in absorbing surroundings and people intensely. i remain open to all stimulation, good or bad, for it all has its reasons with me. i simply want to experience, as a living human being. yet beyond that, i want to think past boundaries too.

    maybe that's why artists, writers, musicians are often psychotics, neurotics and misfits. they think beyond the protective, safe and very often stifling lines of what is acceptable. it means a lonelier life, except among others who understand, but it's a very rich inner life, where one can never be hurt or abused. anti-social? or self-knowledge?

    Non, rien de rien
    Non, je ne regrette rien
    Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait, ni le mal
    Tout ça m'est bien égal
    Non, rien de rien
    Non, je ne regrette rien
    C'est payé, balayé, oublié
    Je me fous du passé
    Avec mes souvenirs
    J'ai allumé le feu
    Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs
    Je n'ai plus besoin d'eux
    Balayés mes amours
    Avec leurs trémolos
    Balayés pour toujours
    Je repars à zéro
    Non, rien de rien
    Non, je ne regrette rien
    Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait, ni le mal
    Tout ça m'est bien égal
    Non, rien de rien
    Non, je ne regrette rien
    Car ma vie
    Car mes joies
    Aujourd'hui
    Ça commence avec toi...

    No, nothing of nothing
    No, I regret nothing
    Neither one made me,
    The good or the the evil
    All that is quite equal for me
    No, nothing of nothing
    No, I do not regret anything
    It is paid, swept, forgotten
    I may have been crazy
    With my memories
    I ignited fire
    My sorrows, my pleasures
    I do not need one more than the other
    Sweep away my loves
    With their tremoring
    For always I set out again from nothing No, nothing of nothing
    No, I regret nothing
    Neither good, although one made me, nor the evil
    All that is quite equal for me
    No, nothing of nothing
    No, I regret nothing
    Because my life
    Because my joys
    Today
    They start with you...

    What you should not do isn't always what you dont do.

    Regret is more a reflex than a chosen feeling, I think...

    You can logic it out, and decide not to feel it, but that is extremely difficult in certain circumstances...


    For instance, the circumstance that my piece was written about...


    Good thought, tho

    that's the point, when you logic it out, you can make it whatever you want.

    when you have touched the dark side, and have felt evil, when you have lived goodness, felt its sweet bitterness, you still return to the place of stasis. whatever you think, feel, express is only in the present. everything else is a memory, already gone.

    some become numb from too many extremes, and seek further and further, either using or shoving away whatever and whoever may be in the way to their self-gratification.

    what is conscience but a part of the brain that decides what is advisable or not? we all love to have our pleasure centers stroked, but somewhere along the line we have to decide where to stop its demanding.

    to me, it sounds like your regret is on the verge of being a tantrum because you can't get your own way.

    i'd love to know the story behind this, i have a similar one.

    The story is a mental suicide...

    Before you cut the chord mentally, remember what your life is worth...
    Remember, even if you never really knew to begin with...

    That's what it's saying...


    This is about regretting making decisions because they inevitably brought you where you are... where you dont want to be.... most notably, the cold feeling of loneliness...


    So, you say that regret is wrong because it is just a memory... well... I say that it is appropriate if you regret the fact that your current position is where you do not desire to be.

    Hopefully you wont forget that there is a future, and that things can change...

    Hopefully you wont forget again

    i see, that's what you seem to be getting at, never losing hope that things can always change.

    starting over with a clean slate, a good heart, and a healthy attitude -- that is the key to not losing hope in this life.

    and humor!! dammit, people just don't laugh at the absurdity of it all enough.

    ah, i'm through being serious and pretentious today. let's go to the movies and have a laughl

    i'm going to watch die, mommy, die at the local later. maybe i'll meet a fellow humanist there -- LOL!

    i've read this thread over and over and over again. i'll probably have a few more go rounds with it throughout the day because every read i find some new truth winking and smiling at me.

    columbus decanter and felicity - thank you both for this incredible exchange.

    My dad's a truck driver... he's also the biggest asshole anyone could ever be introduced to...

    Does that help with the interpretation?
