Regret

Regret. What is it? Most would say they regret doing something, but what does that mean? Does it mean they did something that wasn't like them and they won't do it again? Does it have a definition?

Everyone does things that they wish they wouldn't have, but some would call it regret and some wouldn't. So what is regret? Is it the time that you ate that fourth piece of cake when you know you didn't need it? Or is it deeper than that? Some would say regret is simply something that you wish you wouldn't have done. I would agree with this statement, but how do you deal with it?

People say "live life with no regrets," but at the same time they are the ones that do the "stupid things" according to society. While they say this, they are throwing their lives away for a little fun. They're trading their eternity for a few nights of excitement. Would this not be considered regret? If one things for sure, they'll regret it when they die.

Some say they regret not saying something to someone or not doing someone for a love one who is now dead. So when you say "live life with no regrets" maybe that means you need to spend time with the people you care about. Who would regret that?

I hope that when I'm coming close to death that I can truly say I have no regrets. I may have done some things that I wish I wouldn't have, but I hope I won't regret the way I've lived my life. Society these days finds their happiness in Blurry nights, Facebook likes and Twitter follows. If you lost everything would you regret living that way? Don't you want more than last nights bragging rights? What if you died today? Would you have lived a life full of regrets? The future is a gift even though this is the present, live with no regrets.
