R and R

Do you have any regrets?

You're not allowed to regret the Second World War or 911. The question
is one of personal regret

Regret is a personal feeling of sadness, disappointment - something
done or not done. Are you disappointed with yourself, and sad as a
result, over things that you've done or things that you've not done.


Because if you were to undergo a brain scan, that regret wouldn't show
up. So unless you qualify for some artificial illness criteria which
allow people to speculate on what is going on at a cellular level and
call you a diagnosis, people will credit your regrets to the process
best anonymously described as "functional". And functional is probably
best described as "part of the human condition". You might even go as
far as to the N word.
Normal.

Real on the other hand is an actual thing occurring in fact not
imagined or supposed.
Actual.
Existent.

Regrets - imagined
Reality - actual.
Opposites, in fact.

Regret aren't real.

Try not to waste too much time on them.
