It was seriously the dumbest thing I ever did in my life, ever! I have never felt so miserable before. It was during the Summer, too. So it pretty much destroyed my entire summer. My parents took away my cell phone for 2 months and my computer was taken away for 2 months, too. I ended up getting a job later that summer and paid it off. The irony is that was when I got my first car, too. So it wasn't such a bad Summer. But still, I learned a lot from that mistake.Ah! Artemis Fowl, the teenage criminal mastermind.
The dumbest thing I ever did was believe the Word of Faith people at my church when they taught me to believe I was already healed. So I took off my hearing aids and contact lenses as an "act of faith." I walked around Los Angeles unable to see or hear for a week waiting for the manifestation of my healing to kick in. When I told my Sunday school teacher what I was doing, he found some kinda way to convince me that acting on faith doesn't really require that I act.

I tend to think of regret as the inevitable side-effect from any choice one makes.
The only ones who live without regrets are true slaves. A man chooses, a slave obeys.
Helps me embrace regret.
Regret keeps us from doing the same dumb things over and over. It's only when we allow regret to steal our joy or make us feel we can't do better that it's a problem.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
