Writer's Block: Fight or flight

I have struck someone in anger, and decades later I continue to regret it horribly.

I have also been struck in anger, and decades later I have never seen any indication that the person who struck me ever regretted it for a second.

Funny how that works. (I expect that the simplest and truest explanation is that I deserved the hit but the person whom I hit did not.)

Or: You have a conscience, and the person who hit you does not.

Given what I know of the people involved, I'm more inclined to go with my version. :\
