Question of the Day: Is it Okay to Always Say "No Regrets"

Tweet

We often hear the phrase "No regrets" from people who are just to do an action and from people who just finished doing an action. Sometimes they stick to it, sometime they don't. As individuals, we may not really be that aware of our tendencies to whisper this under our breath and/or at the back of our heads. May it be a form of rationalization or just an expression of our attitude and optimism. However, is it really that worth it to say "No Regrets" and just face the consequences? And of course I am talking about the genuine "No regrets" statement and not just the "No regrets" utterance but with constant worry attacks throughout the day. Is it okay to regret at times or is it much better to be prepared with the consequences of your own decisions; just accepting what happens next without thinking of the what ifs and what could have been? Sure, it is human nature to regret but the human mind can interfere with such an innate matter, yes? :)
