Answer 1

Hell no.
Most of us make it a point to think it out, do the research and make the best decisions at the time frame given to us to make the decision.
In hindsight, lets say 2 yrs down the road, we come into information that may have impacted that particular decision from this matter, but it is too late and the repercussions of the judgment we made then had come and gone.
Do you regret that you didnt know then what you know now?

Regret no, since we cannot undo the past. Wishful thinking that it was available then? HELL YES.

Answer 2

Permanency is a fallacy. If it were not then to utilize hindsight to establish a better outcome would be a laudable goal, although even then there would never be anyway to define all the tangible and intangible factors that could indeed dictate an even less favorable outcome. Since the stream of ones activities is without end and can be redirected at will however, one is constantly at liberties to "change what you did" with an amount of energy in direct correlation to the amount of time that has elapsed since the initial action was taken. Although we all do this with relative frequency, it is important to realize that if one applies themselves in an efficient manner to a given decision, the time and energy required to reverse it when it is not sufficiently well thought can be used to much greater affect on new actions. Second guessing one self is inevitable, redundant changes are avoidable. Good luck and God Bless.

Answer 3

Ah, Frank

And now, the end is near,
And so I face the final curtain.
My friends, I'll say it clear;
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full -
I've travelled each and every highway.
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets? I've had a few,
But then again, too few to mention.

Come on everybody sing along! ;-)
*******
There was a time when I would have said yes.
But now I have accepted that who I am, is what I am.
And what I am is a result of all that has happened to me and all I have done.

So to wish to change an important step would be to say that I am discontent with who I am.
And I must live with who I am, so I must conform to myself and make any changes which are needed as I go along.
*******************

I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course -
Each careful step along the byway,
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
When I bit off more than I could chew,
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried,
I've had my fill - my share of losing.
But now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that,
And may I say, not in a shy way -
Oh no. Oh no, not me.
I did it my way.


My parents go crazy at this time of year and play all of his stuff and Dean Martin and the like 24/7

That's way I am not going home this year!

lol

Answer 4

Absolutely not. Whatever I changed would not change my nature, because nature is the product of repeated action, not a single moment. And the differences between my current life and the life of the changed past, although most likely different, would not make me any more or less happy.

Answer 5

Yes I would change it.... I signed for some court papers thinking they were routine.... they were not.... I never would have signed if I had known they would caused great pain to a family.... but mostly to a 7 year old boy... whose world has been torn apart... I truly wish I could I could go back and change it...

this is the result of my mistake...

Answer 6

What I am today, I am the product of my past doings. If I change one of my doings it would change whole course of my life and I don't know what I will be then. So it is better to leave things as they have happened and think of future course.

Answer 7

My life is so filled with mistakes that I could not possibly select one as more important to change over another.

As Ted Bundy once said, "there's nothing wrong with my life that reincarnation couldn't fix".

Answer 8

I would ignore the ability to change it for my current total identity would not allow me to see a different identity resultant of a change in prior total identity formation.

Answer 9

Well sometimes we do things and say things that we probably should not. So in this spirit, to do over is a good one.

Answer 10

Yes. I've made errors in my past that are significant to me.
