i came upon this while writing an essay on ethics.

hell begins the day god grants you the vision to see all that you could have done, should have done, and would have done, but did not do.

it's good shit. bloody generous of god to grant this gift eh? gives us all a reason to regret.

but instead of hindsight, why not foresight?

had a talk with dad till late last night.
i admit i never thought things through from his point of view.

but neither did he.

this post is about my broken dreams.
and my father's.
