we form our identity through choices we make -okay. The unforgiving moments I see flowing away from us like Heraclitus' stream, and you see them flying off into space. But we can't get them back, and that's the point. You can't fly like Superman faster than light into space and recover them, and I can't step into the same stream twice. We have only now to decide how to spend our moments. It's not a bad thing to choose to be kind :)

So true @johngeddes! Being in middle age I see the truth in the quote "Youth is wasted on the young." When you get to be this age you see time slipping by ever faster and really come to know how valuable it is. That's a hard thing to understand until you feel it slipping away, then you realize how important each decision is.
