Two Wrongs

Two Wrongs

Most people consider it untrue that two wrongs make a right. Logically, a wrong seems unambiguous. But like truth, there are many shades of wrong, and also many shades of intention. Some people are honest about their mistakes. Being honest hopefully keeps a wrong from becoming a regret.

They say two wrongs don’t make a right
Well maybe that is true
But I can’t describe the feeling I get
When I take revenge on you.
Lyric from Suicidal Tendencies, Two Wrongs Don’t Make A Right

Regret is an odd emotion because it comes only upon reflection. Regret lacks immediacy, and so its power seldom influences events when it could do some good.
Quotation from William O’Rourke, Idle Hands
