psych it up babe.
I remember the first time I felt a pang of guilt. I would have been 12 at least. A strange feeling.
At 14, it came and went.
Of course now...it's different.
Guilt, links up to that old emotion called regret. When people don't regret, it makes me wonder - do they not feel guilt? Some people learn, and others do not.
They jump into the fire and right back into it where they don't belong. You could say, guilt is for the people who reflect. And isn't it for the selfish, self absorbed ones who are too full of pride to think about anything but themselves? Does it belong to the innocent, the kind, the understanding? And does it detatch itself from the cold, the typical geminian level of thought 'no regrets, everything I do is correct?'.
I became fascinated with the lack of guilt geminians felt as I filtered through the people that did *not* feel guilt. Was it a self righteousness? Was it a sense of pride and confidence? Did they continue to make the same mistakes? Of course, I don't attatch it to a single sign, or a single stereotype. I was particularly fascinated with the lack of guilt my geminian friends displayed as they continued to battle on in life without the feeling of regret or resentment trailing past them. It was fascinating to watch.
No one can blame them for their lack of empathy skills. After all, they are looking out for numero uno. Themselves - a motivation that may lie deep within themselves. I suddenly stumbled across it, slapping my brains as i realized why this was so. There was a deep superficiality. I don't mean it as an insult. It's just part and parcel of what it is to be gemini. With a strong planet in one, i can vouch for this. But it's only part of a person's make up. So superficiality and a little base. It's not so bad. It's only part of who they are.
Can't have regrets, was what one said to me. I looked at him as if he were an idiot of course. If you don't have regrets, how on earth do you learn?
