Birth of a Contradiction (Part One)
Regret is the father of Indolence. Do not regret lest you succumb to the morbid torpor of indifference, where idle hands degenerate to idle minds!
Do not regret, BUT do not fear to miss, for Yearning is the mother of Art, the muse to the creative powerhouses that are our minds!
Regret and Yearning were once wed, and although satisfied with their raucous and passionate evening escapades, they argued incessantly over trivialities such as the meaning of life and the speed of time. Their marriage was rocky at best, and was cut short by the allegedly accidental death of Yearning. The report dealing with the incident implied that her death, caused by a fatal fall down several flights of stairs, was not altogether the fault of Yearning's clumsy nature. Still, the allegations implicit in the report were never brought to public attention, let alone substantiated under a court of morality. In short, Regret was left to rein the kingdom of humanity alone, without a co-president to counter his often detrimental actions.
Poor Yearning's demise did not come before the turbulent couple's evening ritual produced several fruitful results, however. Several heirs to the throne had been produced, all squirming and screaming, already seeming to muse, "I wish I had not been born!," while another reached for mother Yearning with a determination previously unseen in such newborn youth, crying for her company -- and already learning to communicate as a result. The children (of which there were three) were, in short, an overwhelmingly awkward combination of the most basic of human emotions. Finally, their parents found a decision on which they could confidently be unanimous: the three were named Indolence, Creativity and, the most beautiful, talented and adaptable of the three, Dayea.
