I don't really get this "being sorry" thing. I mean, I understand that it's possible to regret past actions. I try not to regret my past, as a rule, but I can think of a few things I'm not too happy about. It doesn't seem like the sort of thing worth spending much time on. I mean, you did this thing, you might or might not do it again, now let's move on. This attitude becomes a problem when people seem to expect me to show some sort of deep emotional sorrow about something I did, or something that happened. What the fuck? It happened. What's next?

A List of Behaviors Which I Generally Follow:

1) Don't take self seriously.
2) Don't take other people seriously.
3) Assume everyone thinks I'm great.
4) Accept the results of my actions.
5) Always move.
6) Try to leave self open to as many mistakes as possible.
7) Do what I want.
8) Don't do what other people want, unless compelling reason beyond "because I want it" exists.
9) Don't be an asshole.
10) Solve problems.
11) Happy in Spring, sad in Winter.
12) Non face-to-face conversations only as last resort.
13) Understand that people are often mysterious, or very simple.

Yes, I am aware of the many problems and contradictions in this list.
