That's the way I've been educated: I always think about what I missed and the things that you did, you did them, so you don't have to think about them any more. ↗
My mother had been educated at a convent, and she had been converted to communism by my father during Stalin's most rampant period, at the beginning of the 1930s. So she had two gods, God in heaven and god on earth. ↗
