Mon Mothma walks among the wreckage, attendants on each side of her: Hostis Ij to her left, and Auxi Kray Korbin on her right. Each serving the role of angel and demon on her shoulder (though the role is never fixed and one becomes the other depending on the situation). Behind them, four New Republic soldiers walking with blaster rifles at the ready. This

“
Лучше не строить иллюзий: людям нечего сказать друг другу, они говорят только о себе и своих горестях, это бесспорно. Каждый - о себе, земля - обо всех. Люди силятся свалить свое горе на другого, даже когда приходит любовь, но и тогда им это не удается: горе сполна остается при них, и они начинают все сначала, еще раз пытаясь переложить его на чужие плечи.

Regret can improve decisions. To begin understanding regret’s ameliorative properties, imagine the following scenario. During the pandemic of 2020–21, you hastily purchased a guitar, but you never got around to playing it. Now it’s taking up space in your apartment—and you could use a little cash. So, you decide to sell it. As luck would have it, your neighbor Maria is in the market for a used guitar. She asks how much you want for your instrument. Suppose you bought the guitar for $500. (It’s acoustic.) No way you can charge Maria that much for a used item. It would be great to get $300, but that seems steep. So, you suggest $225 with the plan to settle for $200. When Maria hears your $225 price, she accepts instantly, then hands you your money. Are you feeling regret? Probably. Many people do, even more so in situations with stakes greater than the sale of a used guitar. When others accept our first offer without hesitation or pushback, we often kick ourselves for not asking for more.[2] However, acknowledging one’s regrets in such situations—inviting, rather than repelling, this aversive emotion—can improve our decisions in the future. For example, in 2002, Adam Galinsky, now at Columbia University, and three other social psychologists studied negotiators who’d had their first offer accepted. They asked these negotiators to rate how much better they could have done if only they’d made a higher offer. The more they regretted their decision, the more time they spent preparing for a subsequent negotiation.[3] A related study by Galinsky, University of California, Berkeley’s, Laura Kray, and Ohio University’s Keith Markman found that when people look back at previous negotiations and think about what they regretted not doing—for example, not extending a strong first offer—they made better decisions in later negotiations. What’s more, these regret-enhanced decisions spread the benefits widely. During their subsequent encounters, regretful negotiators expanded the size of the pie and secured themselves a larger slice. The very act of contemplating what they hadn’t done previously widened the possibilities of what they could do next and provided a script for future interactions.[4]

At one particular club, he met two brothers who were the principals of the other agency. During the meeting one of the brothers made his excuses and left ‘to sort out the exclusivity of the agency’ upstairs with the club manager. The next thing Bryan heard was the sound of a body bumping down the stairs. The other brother also made his excuses, and went over to add a kick or three to the prostrate body of the luckless club manager. Bryan, who preferred to persuade his clients with a bottle of fine claret, quietly slipped away. Only later did he learn that the brothers’ surname was Kray.

The Moon
The Moon symbolizes the Void,
the feminine darkness
and even our own deep forest.
When she is full,
flashes of truth
illuminate us on the Path.
When she has disappeared,
we must carry on with only
our intuition to guide us.
Fear not, the tide always turns.
When the Moon is weighing on you,
there's a good chance that you are
being called to dive deeply and fully
into your unconscious and
the underworld and bring back
a treasure.
