A better way

Once a deed is done the consequences settle in.

You can't unkill a person, or unbomb a building. These are horrible and irreversible acts.

But you can mend a friendship, or grow out hair. You can find another bike, or build a new building. It may not be easy, but it is not impossible. This is one of those moments when there is an opportunity to redeem something.

Nobody really knows exactly what is redeemable, or how that redemption will end up working, but it is almost always better than what just happened before.

At the very least you are setting a positive example and God only knows what the best thing that could happen might be.

Whatever happens, it is best not to dwell on the unchangeable, or over react if it is at all possible, because that is something you will almost certainly regret later on.
