He was met with sarcasm, rebuttals, and laughter. But I agree with him. I think we’re all infallable in this sense. When I’m struggling with dillemmas or regret, another good friend of mine reminds me, “You only do what you really want to do.” If you were caught in a dillemma, and you made a choice, it was based on what was more important to you. There’s no sense in worrying or regretting. Even if it seems selfish or crazy or thoughtless at the time — you had a reason. And if you realize after the fact that your priorities were off, well, you just corrected them. And if you suffer horrible consequences for your actions, well, you’re learning (and it’s how you learn best). And you’ll make a different choice in the future. But you can’t change the past, or what your priorities were at the time. That’s just the way it went. Regret is a waste of energy. Move forward, grow, and remember you’re whole and perfect. I declare myself to be infallable. If i make a mistake, it was the correct mistake at the time.(Okay, now argue with me. I know you want to.)

as long as you’re able to recognize mistakes and not re-make them…
it’s great to be able to justify poor choices. sucks when it actually touches the life of someone you don’t even know.
