A question

There are a millon sentimental quotations out there on the subject of regret (better to regret the things you have done than the things you haven't, better to have loved and lost etc.....). I wonder if people believe them, or if it's what we tell ourselves to dull the pain of loss or stupidity or moments of weakness?

I'm not sure I believe people who tell me they have no regrets.Who are they trying to convince, me or themselves?

  1. I have no regrets

    I don't I don't I don't.... okay maybe a few but I try to learn from them!

  2. Indeed! I seem to have a box of them stored away in the corner of my head somewhere. Occasionally I wheel them out, cringe, blush, squirm, cry or whatever and then put them back into storage for another time hoping that one day they'll provide some wisdom....or disappear.
