Regret

What this episode covers

Our Unruly theme sends the duo to examine Regret, not one of the seven deadly sins but surely one of the most painful of emotions. We’ve all wished we could have done something differently, turned that corner sooner or later, said goodbye differently, not said goodbye at all. How does time affect the impact of regret? When we look closely at regret, we find reasons for everything and, often, acceptance. Song 1: You Told, composed and performed by John V. Modaff.
