week 9 regret

I regret not staying active duty in the Marine Corps. This does follow the same "not" pattern in the video.  If I would have stayed in the Marines I could have retired in 7 years at the age of 38. There is no way to turn this around or "correct it", the opportunity has long passed.  Having regrets relate to the topic of truth and that hindsight is a bitch. Hindsight is painful, just like the truth.

On the more macro scale in society, lies undermine our societal structure. For the individual, lies can be used for gain.  Some techniques to spot Liars are to be cynical and fact check. We should want to learn these techniques so we have a better understanding of the world around us.  Honesty is worth preserving, it is necessary for us to keep faith in our fellow humans.  Create societal change about lying is to first punish those who are in journalistic or governmental positions, harshly for any disinformation they spread.
