My take on regret

[Mr.Obvious]

Damn. I can't really read the OP unless the text size is increased. It's gonna give me serious eyestrain if I read a post of that size when the text is much smaller than normal.

Oh wait I can use the zoom function and then read it all.

Regret is nothing but he inevitable side-effect of making a choice. The only ones who can not regret anything, are slaves in the truest sense of the word. They are those who have absolutely no say in how their lives turn out. And while sometimes we like to be told what to do or choose or buy or try… These kinds of slaves are purely hypothetical, non-existent as our choices not to make a choice are always and foremost a choice in themselves. So forget about banning regret. You’re going to have it. And guess what? You’re going to have a quasi-infinite amount of it, if you look at it rationally. After all, for every choice we make one way, we rule out a greater deal of options. Our choices aren’t ‘Art school’ or ‘Studying Law’. They aren’t  even ‘Studying’ or ‘not studying’.  There are always more options than A and B.  So not only are you going to face regret in your life… You’re going to face what seems like an infinite amount of regret for all the paths you didn’t take, stacking up against the one path you did.

I can honestly assert that I have absolutely no regrets . . . what do you make of that?

If I'm honest, I would say my point of view would lead me to suspect you are not thinking about regrets and are not facing them. If that is the case, I don't think that's the best way to deal with them. But hey, its just my take on things.
