When I think about regret, regret is always an emotion that I wonder, maybe there's no value to this one at all.

Maybe this one's just a glitch.

Because regret is essentially a desire for a time machine.

Regret is, I wish I could turn back time and do it differently.

And I have trouble finding any value, really, in regret.

Remorse...

guilt, these things have a kind of healing function, but regret seems to be a kind of pure fantasy and also addictive to boot.

There's no value except in hearing what you're doing and remembering that there's no value in it.

And that usually you can actually still change things.

You can still adjust your circumstances.

You can still act.

Regret tells you that

you can turn back time and change the situation.

And it could be in an imaginative sense kind of addictive because you can go back and imagine the way things could have been.

What you're not doing during that imagination is remembering and recognizing that you could usually still change your own lot.

You could still make amends.

You can still move forward.

You can still change your life.

You get stuck in regret.

People get stuck in regret.
