The philosophy of no regrets is not an act of courage. It's an act of denial.
What's courage is looking at your regrets dead in the eye and learning lessons from them.
What I'm trying to do here is reclaim regret, get over this no regrets philosophy, which you very appropriately called bullshit.
Regret makes us human...But if we process it correctly, it makes us better. It leads us to make better decisions. It allows us to learn and grow.
