Viewed in abstractions, love is the same thing for everybody. It thrills the same way, and devastates with bloodless efficiency.

Any fighter knows that regret that doesn't inform your future is wasted emotion. If you lose and dwell on the missed opportunity rather than the chances to come, you're finished.
