Shakespeare, in Julius Ceaser wrote:\n\n"A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once. It seems to me most strange that men should fear, seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come."\n\nSo here we have a coward who exhibits this behavior by wanted to dig a hole and climb inside and is sorry he was cruel to a woman in his past.\n\nBy "past life" it plays on the theme of dying a thousand times before the true death.
