History
The winner gets to write it according to popular wisdom. I think that Machiavelli had it right when he wrote that we need to decimate our enemies so that they may not regroup and rise up against us with renewed vigor. That is a paraphrase, but gets the point of a whole lot of Italian across in only one sentence.
Sometimes one wishes that they could rewrite their own history. Avoid mistakes that they could see happening as situations deteriorated, buy Yahoo! at $12 per share, whatever. But your history is the one thing you truly own. For better or worse, richer or poorer, sickness and health. No marriage is truly like that. If a spouse cheats, then the other spouse is legally entitled to divorce them. If you cheat yourself, you have to live with it forever.
