Good stuff. You went deeper into amor fati than I did in my humble submission. I enjoyed your perspective on the idea.

I deleted an entire section in my recent essay about the false positivity of "no regrets!" thinking and how like any other feeling and emotion, we developed it for reasons we should be tuned into.

Properly done sir. I wanted to include the idea and importance of forgiveness in my essay

and never figured a way. It is often the necessary modifier of regret when all else fails. It is Divine.

I agree entirely. This whole thing took me some figuring though, I'll tell you.

Excellent essay, Tom. You've said much of what I'd thought of writing, but in greater depth. Mine would have been just a couple of hundred words, which is why I didn’t submit anything in the end.
