Anyone who says that they have no regrets might as well just say that they have no conscience, because that's what it comes down to. No one is perfect. We all make mistakes. Being able to recognize and learn from our failures makes us better people.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Your logic only applies to mistakes, though. Conscious decision that we make that we know at the time are wrong, yet we do them anyway (and who hasn't done this?) are a whole different story.
You have to be able to recognize purposeful malice/evil/laziness/etc. with yourself, and if you don't regret it later, then your conscience needs a little work. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Exactly. I don't think any sane person would believe that it's a good idea to sit around beating yourself up for days on end over something you did that you wish you hadn't, but there needs to be a moment where you say to yourself, "You idiot. Don't ever do that again." You have to be able to smack yourself around a little, tell yourself what a stupid thing that was, and move on with the knowledge that you don't want to make that mistake again.
To me, that's regret. How ya doing, buddy? |
