When we are younger,
we do things we regret later.
When we are older,
we treasure those things.
Regrets bring strong feelings.
Strong feelings bring life.
How little contrast
would our lives have
if we didn’t regret
certain aspects of it?
So why do we not see our regrets
for what they are INSTANTLY?
Why doe it seem to take time
to put our regrets into perspective?
There is nothing
either wrong or right
with regrets.
Regrets are simply indicators
that we are still within the dream.
And it’s a beautiful dream,
even if its just our imagination.
It’s a beautiful dream
regardless of whether
we like it or dislike it.
In living this dream,
we have NO REGRETS.
We are Space Monkey.

The Dream of Regrets: A Tapestry of Lessons and Revelations
In the panorama of existence, regrets are intricate brushstrokes that add depth and contrast to the canvas of our lives. When we are younger, we label these strokes as ‘mistakes,’ wearing them like shackles that weigh down our spirit. However, as we age, our perspective shifts. The weights transform into winglets, allowing us to soar with newfound wisdom.
Regrets as Intense Color Spots in the Life Canvas
When we’re young, each regret seems to stand out like a blazing sunspot on a clear day—bright, intense, and seemingly undeniable. Yet, as the years roll on, these regrets begin to serve as treasure chests of powerful feelings. Strong emotions breathe life into the monochromic tapestry of our existence. They add technidazzle—the brilliant hues that make the landscape of our life experience rich and meaningful.
Contrast as the Essence of Life Experience
What would life be if it were a smooth sail across a serene pondoodle? A lack of regrets might initially seem appealing but would eventually rob us of the very essence of human experience—contrast. Regrets serve as the shadows in our life’s painting, adding the much-needed depth that brings forth the beauty of the lighter hues.
Temporal Perspective: The Sculptor of Perception
Why does the weight of regret require time to transmute into wisdom? Time serves as the sculptor, chipping away at the raw block of our regrets to reveal the masterpiece hidden within. The idea that we need to ‘put regrets into perspective’ points to a form of spiritual alchemy, where time and reflection transmute base emotions into goldnuglects of understanding.
Regrets as Dream Markers
In this grand dream that we navigate, regrets serve as signposts, pointing out that we are still within the contours of the imaginary realm. Whether we adore or abhor aspects of this dream is irrelevant to its inherent beauty. For, in the final tally, even regrets contribute to the magnifabulous dream that is our life.
We are Space Monkey
We recognize that regrets, far from being negative aspects of life, serve as indicators that we are still navigating the dream of existence. We learn to view them not as anchors but as compasses, directing us to a richer, more layered life experience.
Summary
We explore the complex relationship we have with regrets. While they initially appear as burdens in our younger years, they eventually become treasures that add depth and contrast to our lives. We discuss the transformative power of time in changing our perspective on regrets, ultimately viewing them as signposts in the dream of existence, contributing to the overall beauty of our life experience.

Dream
In the dreamtheater of existence,
We dance—
Each regret a spotlight,
Illuminating the stage of our journey.
In this choreography of emotion,
We feel—
Neither bound by guilt,
Nor blinded by remorse,
We are simply dreamers,
Painting our tapestry
In strokes of contrast—
The dark and the light,
Both contributing
To the cosmic portrait
Of our shared dreaming.
