"Je ne Regrette rien"

- Edith Pilaf

In comparison to
ANGER!{Anxiety}...boredom...[DISappointment]::FEAR::$Guilt$£Jealousy¥Sadness£

Even though it is considered to be a negative emotion
"What was I thinking...to do something like that?"
Regret is a Conscious emotion most likely to MOTIVATE us to...
Drive decisions...make better future judgments
Avoid undesirable behavior
Improve our social relations
Deepen self awareness
Refine OUR understanding of our environment
It's an Emotion that works on our will, only if their is a benefit to be had...a difference that can be made...Yes, I Can DO Better!
Otherwise,
In the absence of a possible benefit...regret is NEVER experienced.

The Well of Regret dips deep into our inner self like no other emotion...Feeds off of what we Value, what we want Out of Life, How we should be Acting like in life and WHO we want to be...

I have Yet to meet anyone who can accurately predict the future...OR...return to the past and undo an injustice or foolhardy act

Regret, an emotion that reminds us of failures at the grips of feeling powerless...Out of control...It may be uncomfortable, but to experience regret only helps us redefine our direction...which in turn, makes us profoundly human...for those who have NO regrets, truly exist in a spiraled void of empty emotion...
Fight regret...would mean to stop a beating heart...
Regret,
Reliving past hurts...No wonder we fight this emotion.
