Sometimes in order to advance foward you need to take a step back. Often people rush into relationships, work, and life too quickly to understand the full picture. Digressive progression is the art of going back to your roots, and meditating on where you are going.

Programmers know the art of digressive progression all too well. You think of a great idea, start coding it and suddenly find yourself lost in an ugly mess because you didn't think first. It is then that you pray to god that you backed up the last version.

Some Puritans believe that the human race has progressed too far and only by digressing to our original roots can we achieve anything greater.
