What one thing in life do you most regret?

Answer 2

"You cant bake a cake without cracking a few eggs."


I have made MANY HUGE HORRIBLE mistakes in my life; but I've learned that I shouldnt regret any of them. We all have a journey to make through life. We'll make many choices along the way. Some good, some not so good. We make those choices that we believe at the time are the right ones to make. Whereas it would be nice if we had a magic telescope into the future that would let us see the outcome of each possible choice before we made a decision, there is no such thing. We are left to stumble around in the dark, hoping that each footfall lands on solid ground. From each wrong choice we learn a new lesson. Now that lesson probably wont help you with your next decision as each is circumstantially exclusive. But, we learn a little more about ourselves, the world around us, other people, and our relationship with it all, that I believe to be quite worthwhile. Unless, the student is unwilling and stubborn, it is progress. Just take comfort in that there is not a soul who has ever lived, is living, or ever will live, nor life in ANY species, that has not made a poor judgment call from time to time. So, sit back, do the best you can, and enjoy your life and this amazing world around us with the wonder of the child that you shall inevitably cognitively always remain.

Answer 5

I know a lot of people will hate me for this, but having my last child and not being married to his father - this is the toughest kid I have ever had to deal with and I feel guilty that he is having such a difficult life. Also, rushing into my 3rd marriage - big mistake, but after 10 years alone and 2 kids to take care of - it happens. He isn't a bad guy, I just have come to realize that we have less and less in common.

Answer 6

I have done a lot of things in my life that aren't neccissarily good, but I don't regret any of them. All the things I have done both good and bad, have brought me to this point in my life. They have made me who I am. And frankly I am happy with who I am and my life. I wouldn't change one thing. And I regret none.

Answer 7

There are a few... I guess I regret not getting my sh!t together earlier in life (college, license, travel, maybe go into the military, take a civil service test...)

Answer 8

Getting myself involved with one bad relationship after another. You would think I would learn after the first couple. You can't just look back on all your mistakes with regret, everything we experience teaches us something. SO live and learn, right.

Talking to my mom more before she past on.
