For all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, 'It might have been'. -- John Greenleaf Whittier Regret is useful when it causes change. Otherwise, it only causes pain. The best apology for regretted behavior is better behavior in future. One may regret what they have done, or what they have not done. My deep suspicion is that one who has no regrets cannot be said to have truly lived.
