The pattern in my tapestry essentially shows how so much written and visual work contains reflections, and many that have emotions, contain disgrace as well. My sources virtually all contain both connecting elements of reflection and disgrace, and I would say that they all compliment each other. Although, R. W. Emerson's quote does refer to contradiction at the same time, but that is different. I believe I met my claim that you must reflect to feel disgrace, and that if you reflect you will have some regrets (unless you developed a personality disorder, that prevents you from feeling guilt and understanding. Again, another issue). This tapestry has hopefully inspired the readers to feel the motivation to improve one's existence and reflect less harshly upon the past, and learn from it, to shape a better future. As with everything, there will be eternally unanswered questions, but I hope to have left not so many open. I do as well wish to have left much thinking space, because what good is a tapestry, or any writing assignment, if it explains absolutely everything to the reader? One can only question the sanity behind leaving no room for thoughts on a topic. Overall, reflection is a natural occurrence that everyone's brain makes- consciously and subconsciously- and it is beyond 'normal' to feel disgrace about your life. Are there are unresolved parts of your past that you feel disgrace and regret towards? If so, you are fortunate. If not, try to resolve it, and move on, because if you can not, you may end up laying on the floor hallucinating images of hands and wives and being a famous actor and giving up on life.
