If

If.

If if if.

We use it everyday.

'What if...?'

'If I'd....'

'If it weren't...'

'How if...'

If if if.

'If' is a strong word.

'If' is a reflection of possibilities, the divergence of choice, the prospects within the future.

'If' is the alternate truth.

'If' makes a mockery out of the gift of freedom bestowed by autonomy. The sardonic emergence of parallel living and the backtracking of decisions.

Because it vilifies our actions with contemptuous temptations, of something else worth living; doing. Of our wrong choices:

'If' be-gets regrets.
