Ohhhh boy. I'm ALWAYS talking about regrets; especially with my dad. I try to live without regrets, believe it or not. I believe that any choice I make in my life and anything that happens to me is meant to teach me a lesson. Regretting something that has already happened is rather stupid, in my opinion... there's nothing you can do to change it, there is no way to turn back time... so why dwell on it?
For those who do choose to dwell on regrets, however... I guess this is a good quote. All of us WILL inevitably have regrets. Hell, even I have regrets- just because I choose to not let them affect me doesn't mean I don't have them. If you do focus on your regrets, I guess you DO want to have the right ones. For instance, my Dad regrets drinking in his youth and not paying as much attention in school. HOWEVER! If my Dad hadn't been a drinker, while he may be slightly healthier now... he also probably wouldn't have met my mom and married her. Why? Because with a better education, he could have gotten a better job. And if he had gotten a better job... he wouldn't have met my mom. So you see.. while my Dad regrets drinking because he got to witness what it does to people, it is a good regret for him because without it... he wouldn't have met my mom, he wouldn't have me or my sister and his life would be 10,000% different. So.. the quote is right. Yes, we're going to have regrets. But let's make them the right regrets... because in the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take. Maddie
