But that’s what creating anything, and being human, is about. Of course, if I could go back and knew what I know now, I absolutely would do it differently, I’d do it the right way, but part of being human is that we can’t go back, we can only hope that if we come across that moment again we’ll do it the right way.</p> <p><strong>Do you think that there is a right way about everything, a one hundred percent right thing to do?</strong></p> <p>Not all the time, but I think humans are instilled with knowing, at any given moment, what the right thing to do is, especially when it concerns the wellbeing of someone else. I think doing the right thing for the person next to you is always the right thing, arguably.</p> <p>We’ve made bad decisions, and have things we regret, but we’ve learned from them, and we’re four people that are connected in a way that I would find it very hard to explain to anyone in words, so that’s our biggest accomplishment at this moment, is that a good ending?</p> <p><a href="http://extraneousterrain.tumblr.com/post/18071963828/on-friday-10th-february-i-was-given-the-chance-to">Read More</a></p> </blockquote> <p>Fairly in-depth interview with Jesse Lacey.
