An interesting take on regret and I agree, one should avoid dwelling in the "what if's" because they are nothing but imagination that brings unnecessary anxiety. I always think of these things as what's in the past is in the past. If it's in the past I cannot do anything about it and the best thing to do is to learn from that experience and to keep my focus on what is now and what is to come, because those are the only things I can really change.
And besides that, had you gone down a different path then the exact person you are now, the conscious individual You, would never have existed and another individual would instead exist as You. I'm quite happy being me, because I am a result of my choices.
