“The brave don't live forever but the cautious don't live at all. The only thing that's truly terrifying is the unlived life.” -- Bill See

Regret makes us smarter and wiser—because “loaning” $20k to a friend with inadequate means to pay us back was some kinda stupid.
Regret makes us kinder to others—because the person we loved and who also loved us, unconditionally, did not deserve to be treated that way by us.
Regret makes us take better care of ourselves—because punishing our bodies with too much food, alcohol, or drugs had a devastating effect.
Regret is how we learn to be better people, to both ourselves and everyone in our lives. It’s an integral part of our moral compass. I don’t trust people who say, “I have no regrets.” You never once hurt a single person, even in the slightest? Really—? And if you did hurt someone, you don’t regret it? --Melissa Meyer Quora.com "What Positive Role Does Regret Play in Our lives?
