Regret

Regret is a powerful emotion.
It can cause one to lose sight of their hopes and dreams for the future due to the captivating sense of loss regarding a past mistake or action. As you reflect upon the past, it strikes you- perhaps that was a foolish course of action. And owing to that ignorant decision, perhaps something that may have been of been great value to you, will now be cast away, never to be offered again.
The grave realization that such a blame is on you, and that you had the opportunity to act upon such things, haunts you for years to come.

Or perhaps such a regret does not exist in you, but instead you did act upon such things, and the reactions rendered has cause similar pain and distress.

What do you do about these feelings?

Will they ever pass? Is there a way to reverse them, perhaps set them right?
Or are you destined for a life of musing and reflection on what could have been?

-will you gain more from taking actions or holding back?-
