Let's discuss regret. have you experienced regret? what can you do if something regretful happens?

I have experienced massive amounts of regret, in just my short period of living. I think there are many methods to moving past regret, for sure. One way you can do this, is to ask yourself if remembering what you did, is impacting you, or someone else in the present. If so, then maybe possible action is in check. I mean this by, someone may be in need of an apology. Another way you can shake past this is to remember, that you were not the only person who messed up that day. Someone else made the exact same mistake, and someone other, had an even larger fault, than yourself. Sometimes the only thing keeping you from healing, is yourself, and you have to forgive yourself for your action, and keep going.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
