Living life with no regrets

I think people get regret confused with boding on the past. To truly regret nothing is perhaps one of the stupidist things I've ever heard. It is essiantly saying, I will not learn from my mistakes. However, refusing to bode on the past is good, as it is refusing to obsess; and as such you learn your lesson and move on.

Regret is inevitable, it's how you get over it that determines what you do. If you sit and mull and angst over mistakes from years ago, you're not really learning from them. If you learn from them and give life a go with this newfound knowledge, then yeah, I think that could be considered living without regrets.

So, if you are glad for what you have learned from your mistakes, you are experiencing no regret. Having no regret is not pretending not to make mistakes but the acceptance of one's mistakes. It means doing things just for the hell of doing things, because not doing them would create a lost opportunity, and the worst that could happen is it doesn't work out and you know not to do it again. Being regretful does not equal learning from your mistakes.

To learn from a mistake, there must be at least one moment of repentance. The sheer idea that I shouldn't have done that. How could this have been different.
