Christopher Hitchens said much that was thought-provoking; but not everything he believed is necessarily empirically true, and in fact he moderated his views on various subjects across his time in the spotlight. I liked him for the most part. It warmed my spirit that he and Peter reconciled in time. And that was an even bigger lesson: that there are aspects to this life that are more important than all else. Accepting and living by differences (which we used to do), and understanding that hearing isn't the same as listening. Both Hitchens brothers have experienced life in ways few others of comparable intellect will. We are blessed to have had Christopher, and continue to have Peter.

Douglas has been pitch perfect on multiple subjects to threats to the West for decades, but hearing this talk was a healthy introspective understanding of regret or things to bare that I knew subconsciously was there lying in wait, but to verbally express it and make sense of it as “a feature” and “not a bug” put it in perspective.

I learned two great lessons from two teachers in high school. One was from my U.S. History / Psychology teacher who told us not to have any regrets. You cannot have regret, he said, because all it does it eat you on the inside and continues to do so. Do not regret. At first I thought that it was impossible to have regrets; I even had many of them as an adolescent. I eventually learned that it is a matter of not letting yourself regret because, if you had not done something you had done in the past, you might not have enjoyed all the great experiences, relationships, etc. that you have had since then.
@bigbeluga42042 жыл бұрын
Yes I agree. I use that outlook to help cope with difficult situations. When you zoom out of the difficult experience/regret and imagine it on a giant timeframe of your life, not only will its significance somewhat diminish, but it would also show all of the positive events that only could have occurred because of that catalyst. In comes the stoicism. An event is not neccesarily good or bad, it is he who interprets it as such.
@semigeniusreally89882 жыл бұрын
Sorry, but your teachers failed you. Regrets are a form of introspective apologies and must be owned by the regretor and the apologist with deep sincerity and humility. You apologize to others to obtain forgiveness and your apology must contain a promise not to act in that fashion again. Similarly, regrets are apologies given to yourself and come with the same promise. In that respect, regrets and apologies result from self-awareness and learning experiences and without self-awareness and the ability to learn from our mistakes, we might as well be vegetables.

@@semigeniusreally8988 I think regret is not necessary to recognize a shortcoming and to apologize for it or to learn from one's mistakes.

@semigeniusreally89882 жыл бұрын
@@Shewib If you think that feeling regret is self-destructive, then so are apologies, which are simply regrets expressed to others rather than to oneself.. Should an operator sitting in a room in Las Vegas feel regret for discharging bombs from a drone in Afghanistan remotely that mistakenly kills 48 innocent adults and 15 innocent children at a wedding party feel regret or remorse (which are the same) for the destruction he wrought? Should a person who, while driving drunk, kills a child's pet but escapes discovery and returns home never to be prosecuted? Should a vigilante feel regret for shooting an innocent person in his attempt to gain revenge for his daughter's rape by shooting at his daughter's rapist? Or what if the alleged rapist was misidentified? The list could go on ad infinitum, but by denegrating the very concept of regret you denegrate our humanity. And by comparing it to depression, you denigrate those suffering from depression. If you have lived a life free of the feeling of regret, you are almost certainly pathologic or sociopathic and you have my pity for having to live with yourself.
