Sometimes, just sometimes when an innocent decision made could create repercussions that propagate throughout a lifetime and leave deep and profound impact in you as you grow.
The most that you could do is to push the regret aside, especially if you are unable to correct the decision made. The least you could do, is nothing, and let it consume you, leaving you feeling utterly helpless - akin to watching a train bearing down on you when you lay shackled on the tracks.
Yet sometimes, even when you have pushed the regret aside, the past still comes back to haunt you, and make you remember the decisions that you have made that led to this. And you cringe. But there is nothing that you can do.
And again.
And again.
It is as if time is the spit-fire on which you roast on your regret.

Movies are not entertainment
If you flip through the newspaper, more often than not, movie reviews are classified under the entertainment section. A fair deal, considering that movies are created to entertain people, to whisk them into a make-believe world where good always triumphs over evil, where bad guys finish last and happy endings are always the order of the day.
You would then have to agree with me when I say that movies are created as a form of escape, a mental sanctuary from the harsh and cruel world for 180 minutes. Which also set you back $8.50.
Then, why should movies be labeled as entertainment?
I think they should be called cocoons instead.
Movies are the cocoons for the mind, to shield them against the realities of the world and immerse them in the perfect fantasy world. The movie experience is not only about the story but also about the removal from reality the movie-goer can experience when they are engrossed in the story.
And with that, it gives the movie-goer a renewed sense of hope and purpose, that everything will be ok with this world. Just like false hopes.
The truth is, nothing is fair in this world.
And movies are the heroin to fix it.
