I hardly ever entertain regret in my life; I have plenty of regrets, but I don't entertain them... I don't dwell on them... because it's pointless. In other words I'm a firm believer in not crying over spilt milk. But they do affect me to the extent that I try to make something positive come from every negative thing that happens... so that's not dwelling on them but it is minimising them in a sense...turning every regret into the seed/cause of something good.
I know that's not the point you're making, Mr Obvious, but just saying my take. I like your point though... to basically accept regret as part of the system... as something that will necessarily apply in all situations. It feels almost Buddhist what you're saying, at least loosely; if you don't have any expectations then you'll never be disappointed.
