You personally make up lots of things. This is done to bridge the gap between how bad you have had it and how much better others have. You can't handle the differential, so you make things up to justify to yourself why you are worse off and how it isn't quite your fault.
If someone walks across the street and was an inch away from being hit by a car, it makes sense to wake up. It makes sense to learn from the experience, never make it again, and warn others of the dangers. At the very least, an ounce of prevention, even if they choose to marry, could save them tremendous heartache in the long run.
Moving on is completely separate from the idea of warning others. You may not comprehend why anyone would want to help prevent others from preventable catastrophe(that I almost had).
Some choose to repeat their past mistakes over and over and over. That'd be your path, but it won't be mine.
Today's word (and yesterday's and tomorrow's), folks; is ad hominem.
