have a clear conscience, with not one thing they don't regret doing to their fellow man.

The one thing I regret because my whole life my motto has been "do no harm" is having an argument with my fiance, a bad one, and the last words I ever spoke to him were "f** k off and die than, I dont care". And he did.
Took a corner too fast on his motorcycle, in the rain, because he was mad -- his helmet split open when he hit the pavement. Died without ever coming of the coma. I have NEVER since there ended a conversation with someone with angry words - because you never know but that they might be the last words you ever say to that person.
It was a hard lesson to learn, but I am a quick learner. Dont have to show me twice this is not a good thing.

It would be very difficult to not have any regrets. We've tried very hard to not have any but the best thing to do if you do regret an action, word or deed is to make sure it's not said or done again. We are all human and mistakes are made to learn from. Some regrets are huge and some are small but no matter the size it is the way you deal with it that counts. If you have serious regrets from years ago but can rectify them today....try to, you never know what good will come from it.

I have regrets. I can't imagine any of us having lived a perfect life without hurting someone else at one time or another. If they don't regret it, maybe it's not because they did nothing to regret, but that they just don't have a conscience.

Of course I regret some things in life...wouldn't be human otherwise. However, I don't dwell on those things, realizing that some mistakes with folks were made when I was less tolerant and with less knowledge and personal growth...others were 'fly by the seat my pants/knee jerk reactions'....that's life.
I try very hard now not to injure others with words or deeds.

I have one major regret, When I was a schoolboy we had one teacher who was a bully( the only one, the rest I remember with respect) during one episode my schoolmate a lad called Kennith Wright managed to Kick him in the shins really hard, I still regret not being brave enough to do the same.

Isotope has given us a strong example of why we should watch what we say. Life is too short for some and you never know the minute.
My own Dad was an ill for most of his life. I always cut his hair for him.
One day I was doing this and I felt like giving him a hug, but I changed my mind because we were not a hugging family, after that he died and I never got another chance. I often think of that and now if it want to hug anybody I just do it whether they like it or not.

I know there is not a living person that can answer yes to that question. Sometimes our regrets are more dramatic than others, but that is why we tell the younger people you "live and learn".

How can you get to 60+ without regretting something? Jesus died when he was 33, but the rest of us are human.
