Regret is a word in a dictionary.
I beg to differ Razor, there are things that are unfixable - the lost of a life being one. But a moment for regret - no.
Memories - yes, but not regret.
To regret something is to refuse to acknowledge who you are. Everything you say and do has got you to this singular point in time. Do you like who you are now? If so then you have nothing to regret. Easy to say, hard to do - but it is true.
If you don't like yourself then you have the capacity for change. It's a wonderful thing that is pretty much unique to humans so enjoy it.
Still, there is no cause for regret - it's all part of the journey and if you can better yourself then you can be proud of who you are.
There are things that you could not have helped, some that you did because it was right at the time but in hindsight was stupid - then there are those things that you do deliberately, despite knowing what the consequences will be, whether out of fear, anger, pain or malicious intent.
But as long as you eventually learn from such experiences, you should leave regret where it belongs - in a dictionary.
