Do you ever regret...?

Hells no,

I would hate to be one of the billions of sheeple and be completely oblivious to the carnage thats about to soon unfold. I just hope I have a little more time to prepare and bury more cans of spam. By the way he who has the rare spices and coffee shall be king when WTSHTF. PS and chocolate too!

I've always thought that chaos lurked beneath the surface of anything that seemed to be too much of a good thing. Also, that N.Americans lived in a fool's paradise, vastly out of step with the constrained circumstances of most on this planet. Didn't seem fair. So, it's intuitively a very appealing idea to me.

no
I'm also glad I didn't find out sooner, the cassandra syndrome would have killed me

Never a regret for me.

The contemplative life finds its joy in discovering truth.

Although I do regret 'the existence of PO' sometimes and wish I could have kept on being a carefree energy whore.

Nope. Knowledge is very powerful tool to motivate.

I regret I didn't know about it in 2003 before I had children. I would not have had them, even though they are my world. I guess I'm glad that I know about it in the fact that I can get some preps on hand. Other than that, it is on my mind almost 24/7 & I feel it prevents me from being a better parent than I would be if I didn't know about it at all.

I'm still in the denial/depressed phase. I'm not sure acceptance of what may come(total collapse) will ever happen Sad
