            The most painful thing one can ever experience...

            The feeling of doing something that you wish you had never done. Feeling regret, you would do anything to turn back the hands of time... Or die to get away...

              When you've done something you wish you hadn't, or hadn't done something you wish you had.

              To argue which is worse is an exercise in futility; for the weight of their pain is subjective: the falling out of a friendship because of an unbridled tongue, the loss of the one you love because you didn't speak up, someone committing suicide because of something you'd said. The pain is there, festering; gnawing at your soul; relentlessly reminding you of its reason for existing: yourself. There's no one else you can blame; for there is no one else TO blame. All you can do is bear this burden, because it is a burden you've forced yourself to bear. And you do so willingly- subconsciously seeing it as penance for your sins.
