What would you regret?

[SeaCat]

This is inspired by a news article I saw this evening where a 15 year old girl was killed crossing the street. She had just started her life and hadn't experienced much. What a waste.

That got me to thinking. If I were to cash it in tomorrow after 43 years of living, what would I regret the most?

It wouldn't be leaving my wife without resources. I'm more than well insured in more than one way. (Hell I'm worth more dead than alive by a factor of at least 100.)

Oh no the regrets would be in other areas. Yes there would be regrets.

While I have climbed more than a couple of mountians there are a couple I would love to visit. Mt. Washington in the middle of Winter comes to mind.

I would regret not having taken my wife to Europe.

While I ride a motorcycle I have yet to ride it across the state much less across the United States.

While I was unmarried I did date several women, yet I have never had the chance to run my tongue over a tight body. (I do mean all over a tight body.)

WHile I have had sex in more than a few places I have yet to have it under water or in zero "G".

While I have taken life and delivered a baby I have not created life.

So what would you regret?

What would I regret if I died tonight?
1. Not taking more chances in life when it came to being happy.
2. Never having visited Isreal as I've always wanted to.
3. Never having published that book of poems I always said I wanted to do.
4. Never having wrote that book about my life, even if no one ever bought it.
5. Not having said I love you enough to the people that I loved.

Nothing. The guy I gave my virginity taught me this lesson: Regret is the ulitmate sin. He wasn't really religious but believed that life should be liven without regrets. I have none. I have a million learning experiences in my life but I can say I have no regrets. I look at it this way. If any one thing were to have been done differently than what I did, I wouldn't be exactly where I'm at today. That may mean I might not have my kids and I'd take every painful thing I've been through in my life mixed in with all the wonderful things any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

My 2 cents.

I regret phonecalls.

I know it seems odd, but my life has been shaped by a couple of phonecalls that I wished I had never answered or made.

One phone call in particular...


But then again, if I had never placed that call I would not be where I am now...I would not have met this wonderful woman who actually loves me for who I am...

 

[TE999]

I regret nothing. What's happened is gone and I can't change it. Would I have done things differently? Sure...but I might not have had so much fun. If I cashed in my chips tomorrow, it's been one hell of a ride.

 

[MagicaPractica]

I don't have regrets about things I have done in life, but rather things I haven't done.

If I were to die tomorrow, I would regret never having had a relationship that lasted long enough to build to know that I was truly loved, never having held a child of my own, and never having sold a novel. I would say that's it. I think my relationships with friends and family are good. A lot has been worked out over the years. I live in the home I always wanted to. There are other things I want to do, but nothing else I would regret leaving undone.

Maybe not making travel more of a priority, though I have traveled a fair bit it was severely curtailed after the kids arrived...

Not having taken a few opportunities - sexual and otherwise...mostly the sexual...

Not getting a pilots license...but then again, if it was that important I'd have done it...

But that's about it...there are things I'd like to do, but I can't put them in the regret category...more in the if I get around to it then cool...

I wish I had taken better care of this body. My back and knees have me moving like an 80 year old and I'm 52.

 

[werdsmith]

I gotta say if I cashed it all in tomorrow that I wish I'd had a threesome with two really hot women.

I regret almost every decision I have ever made.

 

[JackLuis]

I regret not realizing how happy I was when I was and not realizing how happy I was I was in depression for six years.

I regret George Bush ever drawing a breath.

 

[Lady_Guenivere]

I would regret not travelling through Europe (actually I have never been anywhere.) I know that time will come...so I would be pissed if I left this earth before that.

Aside from a few sexual experiences I want to have, there is nothing else.

 

[lesbiaphrodite]

No regrets. There are a few things I would have done differently, but even my mistakes have made life more meaningful and interesting.

 

[sutherngent985]

I regret many things I have done, and many things I have not done. That said, I cant do anything to change the past and try not to relive it. I do know from here on out things will be different.

I almost died in Vietnam. My attitude was the deciding factor. Life is a pain in the ass and death is peaceful and serene. There is no pain.

But I dont do nuthin NICE & EASY, so I chose life and pain and the bullshit.

And I made up my mind that I'd have no regrets when I died.

If you make me tingle, I let you know. If you piss me off so bad my ass needs buttermilk, I let you know. If youre the dummest goddamned hare-brained moron to come hopping down the Bunny Trail, I let you know. THIS WOULD BE YOU, STELLA.

My life is a monument to disappointments, bad decisions, fuck-ups, and failures BUT I REGRET NOTHING.

Loving too hard.

So basically, only the people that are at the receiving end of your BS are the ones that have the regrets...Like why they dealt with you in the first place?

 

[AchtungNight]

The places I had not been, the things I had not done, the challenges I had not faced. All of which are few.

 

[Liar]

I have a lot of past whining to regret.

 

[redpaint]

I wish I had taken better care of this body. My back and knees have me moving like an 80 year old and I'm 52.

Same for me and I'm only 50.

But I did have fun getting here.
