Ocean_Islands | Friday, February 09, 2001 - 10:57 am  The Guru spake and saith thus: "Some words of wisdom: Change is temporary pain. Regret is permanent pain." Is this true? |
Moondance | Friday, February 09, 2001 - 10:58 am  I think it is very true! Some change is painful ... some is uncomfortable ... and some is welcomed |
Willi | Saturday, February 10, 2001 - 08:11 am  I think it can be very true. Change is a temporary pain. Change can lead to great life lessons and a whole new outlook/perspective. Regret in itself can be counter-productive...We all have regrets...What do we do about them? Do we learn from them? Do we change our situation and/or behavior? Can this regret become less painful based on what we're doing and/or being now...I think so. If it's too late to change the circumstances that led to the regret...Then...It sounds like a permanent pain that one must learn to deal with and hopefully grow from. Easier said than done...This I know. |
Twiggyish | Saturday, February 10, 2001 - 08:43 am  I agree Willi. Regret can be turned into a lesson learned.. "If it's too late to change the circumstances that led to the regret...Then...It sounds like a permanent pain that one must learn to deal with and hopefully grow from." My thoughts exactly. |
Tukuul | Saturday, February 10, 2001 - 10:42 am  LOL! Check out Gu's profile today. |

Tukuul | Sunday, February 11, 2001 - 10:32 am  For those of you who liked the old Guru better than the new, one can only blame Game II for killing him off. Ironic, isn't it? |
Digilady | Sunday, February 11, 2001 - 10:46 am  Game I didn't kill you off, did it? <snark> |
Tukuul | Sunday, February 11, 2001 - 11:53 am  That is to yet be determined. LOL!  |
Noslonna | Sunday, February 11, 2001 - 12:30 pm  I am one that liked the old Guru better. Game II did not kill him off. It allowed him to reveal another part of himself. It was enlightening to see another side to our Guru. If anything killed him off it was the "love fest." |
Tukuul | Sunday, February 11, 2001 - 01:34 pm  Oh "love fest" "shmuv fest". What's so bad about him making a friendship connection with Merlin? |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, February 11, 2001 - 01:45 pm  Tuk, I asked that same question of Guru when I got out--I don't remember ever getting an answer. Looks like he provided one in the game. To get back on topic of the thread, I'll say that his comments as stated above are kind of true. If a person can learn from regrets, it may not be a permanent pain. I guess that might depend on the individual and how they look at such things. If not learning takes place, it seem the chance for permanent pain would be high. To this other issue--I don't see Guru as being killed off. Just changed in some form. |
