We make constant choices in life and at times we may feel bad for the choices we made in the past. Most of time I make slow choices and once that's done, I may never regret over it no matter how bad the influence might be . What's the instance for all of you ,my friends? Would you like to share with me your stories?

There are just many things that we can do out there and really in the end, we make those choices. Choices that are going to seem like a good idea at the time. But in hindsight, yeah they are not going to be something that are going to be the smartest thing in the world to do.
Then again, a mistake can open the path to a better success later on. For instance, if I had really not been lazy at some points during my student career, I might have only been an average student, as opposed to the excellent one later. The only mistake that should really be regretted is the one that you learn nothing from. Otherwise, there are lessons to be learned.

Well, megamatt. Do you agree with me that to regret and to learn from a past choice or event are two different processes . Some prefer to learn from past without giving themselves too much time for slef-resentment or regretion but there are others who learn little from those failed choices but fell deep into emotional disturbance. Have you even seen persons from both categories?

Regrets or no regrets on the choices which have been made, will not change what has happened. But a sense of regret can be useful if it help to do better in the future.

the sesne of regretion came before the act of regreting. So I guess the sense always comes first . If you do not feel anything wrong, you may not have sense of regretion,right?
