What do you regret?

See that is what I was looking for. Granted all "regrets", just like CF, help us become who we are today. So technically, even all regrets can be viewed as not being regrets...But for the sake of discussion, like what jazzy related, quickly go through your life mentally and think about what in general, were/are indeed regrets. Blowing myself up with that bomb when I was 14 was indeed negative at the time, eventually gave me respect for explosives and not further doing bad behavior, but it indeed is a regret when all is said and done. Look at things in a similar way to that. I never had a relationship where it was all 100% negative, even the shittiest of relationships gave atleast a few good times, but all being said and done, there are a few chicks I would not have messed around with if I knew they, or the situation was or was going to be as bad as it was/turned out to be. That = a regret. Look at things in that way.

i guess i just don't understand, then. because if you strip away the positives from a given situation, all you're left with are regrets.

a regret, to me, is something that, if you had chosen/behaved differently it, would alter the course of your life-to-date in a way that you perceive as being good. something that, once it is "all said and done," you would still change in favor a different outcome.

maybe, for me, there just isn't anything i really regret. maybe i'm a narcissist, perhaps even psychotic, but i can't say there is anything i'd really change. everything i've had control over has worked itself out.

and maybe the things i might regret, i haven't yet begun to pay for. in the end, when it truly is all said and done, maybe i'll regret having denounced jeezus krist as my lord and savior; maybe i'll regret never having worshipped satan; maybe i'll regret ever having believed in anything at all.

bottom line, i just don't presume to know enough about anything to harbor regrets.

naive?

I thought a regret was the same as what kswitch explained. Therefore, had I taken the train to my Aikido class, rather than the bicycle, I probably wouldn't have severed the tendon to my shoulder...and still would've divorced the wife a few years later!
Of course, going back a little further...if the ex would've listened to reason, we could've dated a few months or so before the big plunge and maybe even find out our incompatabilities and I might actually be back in the states...

...as for denouncing jeezus krist...that might've been avoided to if the ex would've listened to reason and I wouldn't have to think how a mortal such as a priest could make such a negative impact on my life by not giving me his full 100% attention in regards to holy matrimony!!!

I got a few more regrets, but that's the end of my "sharing time".
