REGRET ...
Is it better to regret something you HAVE done?
Or something you haven't done?
I mean, you regret the things you don't do, so I'd rather regret the things I have done. At least I'd have learned something.
I regret nothing I've done. Even the horrid stuff. They're a part of what made me. I only regret what I haven't done.
Can't really say which is better; my Libra bits say there's good and bad to both.

I often wondered what's worse acting n having it go all wrong
Or never have spoke n wondering what if?
EXACTLY!
Soo....
Which is it, Imp?

If nothing else, you know yourself better, I agree.

I won't lie I'm still haunted by it but in perspective it was right for me.
I can understand that, too.
But what I've done or said with full intent rarely haunts me, so
much as what I've failed to do or act on.
THAT seems to precede the bigger errors in my life in my life...
that is, allowing things to happen.

Do everything! Regret nothing!
Go for your life, since you only have one, why waste time on regret?
Do it!!! If it goes badly learn from it. If you don't do it, forget about it and move on, or go and do it!!'
Leave no roomph for regret!!! Regret is 'theif in the night" of joy. Look at life as good and bad experiences, learning curves and knowledge gains!
Clearly, I don't believe in regret... 😉

And yes, usually in hindsight it works out the way it should. 🙂

I can say that speaking my peace I wont regret but one must be wise enough to know that life is about the journey not necessary the outcome. So in that sense I did the right thing for me.
With a name Impulsv, regret would be the last thing you'd want to do! You've got the right attitude... Do the right thing for you, whilst avoiding hurting others.
Don't get me wrong, we'll all hurt someone at some point in our lives, just don't make it deliberate...

In that case, I absolutely agree.

I think regretting the things I haven't done has hollowed me out far more over the years than any mistakes I've acted out.
Ugh... Yes.
Well said.

Lmao! A typo and I don't regret it :p
If what you are regretting has been done, let it go. It's in the past now, unless it's within your grasp to change it. But then, you stand a chance of regretting changing it...regret is a vicious circle.
If it's something you haven't done, then go do it if you really want to. Again, there's a chance you'll regret that too..."vicious circle" I say!
No regrets is the best policy!!! Live on...

Well exactly! So I guess if you MUST, then only regret what you have done...even though I still think no regrets is best! 😄
