Eh, you've got time...

Yeah it's funny how humans are so "learn through experience"...how some of us have to experience first hand how it's like to be an asshole in order to make the choice to draw a line...I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm still an asshole...but I don't think you'll find many guys around that'd back his brother up like I would, I like to think I'm pretty good with animals (aside from teasing and rough-housing my kitty...but he bites back) these days too, I aint throwing rocks at/towards animals, I'd probably throw rocks at someone who did.
Well, thanks for sharing, folks...last night I was just thinking about this stuff, wondered if there's things you guys all think back on too, I can see some stuff stayed with you too...it's been an interesting read. Feel free to add, I may again.

regret implies that I would change things, I wouldn't. All the stuff that's happened around me, to me, that I've done, bad and good, is all a confluence of events and actions that have gotten me to where I am right now, and I'm perfectly happy with where I am right now.

Are there things that I'm sorry that I did? Sure. Would I undo them? No.

I kinda agree with you, I kinda don't...I get what you're saying, but maybe if I hadn't have done those things, I wouldn't have looked back on them with regret, I might not have changed the things about myself that have put me where I am now.
However, the regret that I feel isn't about changing the past, more the future. What I'm saying is that where I do feel bad about these things and actions, I wouldn't change them either, but it doesn't stop me regretting that it had to come to what it came to, to snap me out of acting that way and/or start me on what I consider a better path...I dunno, maybe "remorse" would've been a better word here...

see my sig for this one. Regret means that I am not happy with the person I am today, as all my actions have amounted to who I am. I know I am far from perfect, but I am very comfortable inside my own skin and wouldn't change anything. I am what I am.

I try to keep the perspective that what's done is done and no matter how bad you feel about it, you can't change stuff in the past, therefore I don't waste my time feeling bad about or regretting things.

no - but it can prevent you from making the same mistakes in the future.

you should understand why it made you feel bad and it'll make you a better person for it..

Oh, by no means was I trying to insinuate that I don't learn from mistakes. Just that I don't wallow in them with regret.

"I really wish I hadn't done that thing four years ago..." That sorte of thing you won't hear from me.

I just wanted to say that I think this thread is the best thing on this whole board right now. I'm totally serious, this is very thought-provoking, and a person can really get something out of it. Bravo. Sometimes we can look into memories of the past with a more experienced perspective, and see things we did and things that happened to us in a wider, more understanding view.

Ah fuck it, the urge is too strong. What about Bruce Lee vs. Angry Chimp?
