I don’t know why I find it so funny that this is his statement. It’s just so banal. “Been there, done that, not worth it.” They didn’t even say said. They said “advised” lmao. It’s probably a translation thing. But I appreciate how they’re being direct like that.
Anyways I actually read the rest of the article and it’s quite good. We cannot forget or attempt to change the past, only try and make amends with the consequences of it.
