The Psychology of Regret: Why We Can’t Let Go of the Past
Regret is one of those emotions that almost everyone carries like an invisible backpack. It shows up in small ways—like wishing you had spoken up in a meeting—or in heavier forms, such as replaying a failed relationship or career choice over and over in your mind. Psychologists call regret a counterfactual emotion because it grows from imagining “what could have been” if only we had chosen differently. And while regret can be painful, understanding how it works in the human brain can help us learn how to move forward instead of getting trapped in endless “what ifs.”

What Came First: The Bible or Sausages?
If you're like me then welcome, curiosity must have gotten the best of you. We all know the infamous question "What came first, the Chicken or the Egg?" or "Why did the Chicken cross the Road?". These seemingly absurd questions keep me up at night. That is why, when I stumbled upon this question, I knew I had to know more.
