Regretfully, I Am Not

Regret: a feeling of sorrow or remorse for a fault, act, loss, disappointment, etc.

There was a Question that I have asked a couple of my friends over the past couple of weeks, and I almost received the same response of "Yes":

"Do you have any Regrets?"

I have had this question looming in my head for a few years. And in those years, I have seen MANY People do things that they wish that they could do over. I seen them do things that ranged from small and easily avoidable, all the way to where The Devil would say "DAMN! Even I am Not THAT Evil!!!"

I myself, am in the same category of those people where I did some things that I regretted doing. I can list those things.

I Choose Not to divulge that information because I am not an Open Book. And I am Not Sorry for saying that. Why Should I be?

The more I thought about that question I posed to myself and others, the deeper I delved into my mind to figure things out. Aside from discovering several ugly truths, I discovered another item that put things into perspective for me, and I can explain it:

"NO ONE should have Regrets, simply off of the idea that at the time, it was EXACTLY what You Wanted and Wanted to do."

I say this for a few reasons...

One, if people took the time to calculate the Risks and Rewards of their actions, chances are there would be less hurt for the party/parties involved.

Two, Disappointment would be at a low (at least in this category, in my Honest Opinion).

Three, Life would be a little more simpler and easier to get along with.

Naturally, My Blog, My Thoughts, My Opinion. I am sure that there are going to be people that are going to have some words for this, and I welcome them as I always have. We can Agree to Disagree, Disagree to Agree, Agree AND Disagree; it is our Nature, and the Beautiful Relationship with which we Possess as Friends, Family, Colleagues, and Sentient Human Beings.

Will I regret what I wrote here? Not for a Second; not only is THIS what I wanted to do, it is something that I have been meaning to write. At the same time, a stimuli occurred that triggered me to write this out and to say something to the Parties involved:


I Apologize for the Hurt that I have caused and given at that time. I was wrong for what I did, and am wholly embarrassed for doing what I did. Even in making a Public Apology here, I completely understand if there is no reconciliation, or even worse: You see me in a totally different light.


Do I regret what I did? No...


I should have thought it through and made a better decision at the time.
