I Keep Putting My Younger Self on Trial with Evidence He Never Had.
Regret becomes cruel when the person I am now prosecutes the person I was using knowledge that arrived only after the choice was already made.
The prosecutor is very persuasive. He has years of evidence, a clean suit and the enormous advantage of already knowing how everything turned out.
The defendant has none of that. He is younger, frightened in ways he does not yet understand and making decisions from inside a life whose next chapter has not been released. Unfortunately for him, they are both me.
