Agreed !!!! all ur points ... except the last line..... "After all, I will be the one paying the price for my mistakes, not anyone else"
Well, everybody has to pay the price... for all gud or bad in the world.... when it comes to humanity.... when it comes to our animal instincts... it hardly matters !! here the prey becomes the predator and the predator becomes the prey......if its mutual !!! And I believe human is intelligent enough to mutualize ... hence no regrets !!!
