Regrets

[jw5]

Do you believe people when they say things like "I don't have any regrets in life" or "I don't believe in having regrets".
Or do you think that it is human nature to have regrets, it's simply whether you choose to dwell on them a lot or a little? And that those people who say the above statements are either not being honest or have managed to convince themselves that they don't have regrets?
What are the regrets that you have?

people who said i've no regrets are those with plenty of regrets but they psycho themselves and tell them they've no regrets...really very sad for these people because very often they are hiding their true feelings and being imprisoned forever by their regrets....it's anguish everyday " i've no regrets"....it's worse than hell.

 

[Cthulhu]

People who say they have no regrets and genuinely mean it lack the intellectual capacity for retrospective. Having said that, the past is the past. Just learn from your mistake and let's move on.

Peoples shouldn't dwell on the past. It's more important to do your best in whatever you are doing now. One should treasure the present and look forward to the future.

But from personal experiences - talk easy - I can say plenty of quotes but EASIER say then done.

So what are your regrets, if any?

If you are a sinkie, you will have tons of regrets.

I agree. But unfortunately, there are many people who lack that capacity.

And what about you? Any regrets in moving to Thailand?

Agree that you should not dwell on the past, but sometimes, reflecting on the past can make you stronger for the present or future and it can be a good learning experience.
And also doesn't mean that you can't have regrets, as long as you don't spend all your time dwelling on those regrets.

Don't people always say that if they could start all over again they won't do things the way they had done? That's regret for you!

No regrets mate. It is all well.

Are you a fan of irony?

i regretted not bonking earlier... damn... missed out all the fun in my early teens... :p:p:p but in retrospect, bonking is overrated... :p:p:p

Hahaha, I agree that bonking is over-rated.

Nope. I speak the truth. If i were to choose a better country than Thailand, it will be Australia and not SG.

Regrets - ?? You ask the death convicts or those serving long sentences in Changi Prison. 9 out of 10 will tell u that if they could turn back the clock, they wouldn't have done this crime no matter what.

Hindsight is often welcome and it's easier to talk about events after everything has happened. But at that time, at that circumstances, at that moment, it seemed like the right decision.

Don't dwell on the past. accept who you are right now and look forward.
those who don't appreciate life will pay for it dearly someday

and I am still hoping to truly understand all those quotes someday...

i have no regrets...but it's anguish everyday...no regrets...no regrets at all...but continuous anguish everyday.

If one is living happily now, whats there to regret. However, if one
is unhappy, then there must be some regrets.

Do you believe people when they say things like "I don't have any regrets in life" or "I don't believe in having regrets".

That is positive thinking and yes, they meant what they say as they do not want that to affect their lives.

Whats the point of having regrets? Its like a festering wound thats gets worst over time. Everytime the memory of a regret were to surface from the depths of my mind I just laugh it off and try to forget it Thou I must say sometimes its hard to forget :(
