Reading Journal #6

"It is a decision that would haunt me forever."

This quote was during the segment where the main character had to shoot a M-16 mounted grenade launcher at a group of people who were surrounding the main character and his party's compound. Knowing full well he'd kill many people, he had to do what needed to be done.

This is quote that can be personally applied to every single living human being on this planet. We all have our regrets, and even one or two that will never go away in our life no matter what we try. These type of regrets are the worse, they never let up, pangs within your conscience that make you lose sleep in the night over until you fix it or learn to deal with it. The thing is that even if you learn to deal with it, it just won't disappear. Old scars are left that will never leave, the type that are visible only to you, who made them. These haunting decisions are usually major parts of our lives, kind of like a fork in the road. Once you go down one end, the other is forever lost. But at the end of the day, we live with it, not giving up the fight, even when we worry over it constantly.
