                                  without deep regret

Dear Anaya, this one reminds me of the quote by Mr Rochester from Jane Eyre: "Remorse is the poison of life,". Best, Anne

Oh, apologies aren't as meaningful if one keeps on promoting the hatred of others ( not remorseful)... wish i was more poetic like you Paige ~
