A friend of mine recently told me she doesn’t believe in regrets.
Just prior to this I shared my aptitude for speaking my mind and making an effort to live without regret.
Her take on this got me to thinking: do regrets exist?
Well, certainly they do, but they are a choice. We choose to act and we choose to feel remorse over those actions.
We can either learn from our mistakes, or dwell on them, letting the guilt chip away at us over time.
I think it’s naive to say regret doesn’t exist, though. Many of you can likely testify to this. Sure, everything happens for a reason, but sometimes that reason is our poor decision making.
So, do you have regrets in your life? If so…what are you going to do about it?
Sincerley,
A wretched saint
