You say something mean, something that you don't even mean. You just blurt it out. You regret it the second you do. The more you think about it, the stupider it seems to have even said it. The main issue is that even when you say you're sorry and/or try to make up for it, you have still said it in the first place. The word (or the sentence) hangs over your head and you can't escape the fact that you were mean for no good reason (is there ever one?). Could it be that what we blurt out without thinking says a lot about who we are? Maybe more than sentences and statements that are thought through? And if the answers are yes, then ... who are we?
