regrets are for idiots

regrets.

the ugliest word i have ever heard.

whether it be the regret of doing something or the regret of not being able to do something, i hate it both.

i honestly have never regretted anything in my life. i'm not such a brat that i didn't feel any remorse for having done something, but that remorse was more pointed to having hurt other people rather than feeling remorse for doing it.

i know you're thinking how could you never have had any regrets? it's because i know, no matter what the situation is, no matter what predicament i am in, i know that it is through my own choice.

this reminds me of a question asked by my English professor back in highschool. he's dead now, may his soul rest in peace. he asked us, do you think life is about destiny, our choices in life, or both?

most of my classmates answered both. i thought they were idiots. destiny is for idealistic people who like to romanticize their lives by saying 'it's destiny'. Life is all about the choices we make, but our choices are somehow influenced by other people around us. For example, i chose to draw on a saturday, but suddenly our biochem prof decided that she'd make us submit the hw on a monday, and with that my choice will have to be re- evaluated and i'd probably choose to do the hw first than draw. (that's hypothetically speaking of course).

wishing to go back in time to re-do your past mistakes, would essentially be the biggest mistake you could ever do in your entire life. because you will be erasing one of your life's important learning experiences. we all make mistakes, but rather than regretting, cherish it... and most importantly Learn from it...
