Do you believe in this line- “You should never regret the things that you do, But you should only regret the things that you don’t do”?

[Pearl222]

Recently came across this line in a movie and it got me thinking, whether that’s true for most people. From one perspective, it makes sense because even if you do something you end up regretting (barring something of a malicious or criminal nature), you still learn something from it and your mistakes are your own to make. However, if you end up regretting it, was it really worth doing it in the first place, especially if you knew that it would end up with you feeling that way?

A more realistic version of this idea might be: “You should never regret the things you do with good intentions, but you should always regret the things you didn't do because of fear.”

[Pearl222]

That’s actually a great way of looking at it

[Paige90]

What's the movie?

[Pearl222]

It’s called “My Oxford year” on Netflix

[Paige90]

I heard it's a good movie!

[Pearl222]

Yeah, it’s good for a one time watch.
Also, I’m not sure if you’re into Bridgerton, but the male lead is also the guy who played King Henry in “Queen Charlotte”

[Paige90]

Is it good?

[Pearl222]

I liked it. So yeah

[Paige90]

Looks like it's a series and I prefer movies

I dont regret anything that I have done. Because I do everything for a reason

And if I do something that I shouldn't have or it turned out wrong. I don't regret it because of what I learned from it

I mean, for me. That's how I became me was by doing trying to do.
Right things.
So that's the reason why I can't regret anything that i've done

I mean, I can wish I've done things a little bit different with certain things and I don't regret them at all and I'm talking like building something or you know, something like that? Putting more time into it.

For me, no matter what I do in life it's a learning experience that's what life is all about.
Is growing and learning becoming better every day no matter what we're talking about.

But no I mean, I'm happy, so I'm gonna just keep it like that. L o l learn and do better become better

I watched the movie of this phrase yesterday and I do believe in this line. I think it doesn't pay off to not do something you wish to do and if your instinct is telling you to do that thing just do it and to hell with the consequences. Go for it without looking back.

That line is stupid advice. It sounds like something many women have followed and now wander why they can never have a good partner for the rest of their lives due to the things they did in their past. I'd bet that many women will say to follow that advice, because the majority of women give bad, harmful advice.

Honestly, that’s more in the category of calendar wisdoms. Read it, rip the page off, read a different one… 😂

[sage2021]

That's how we learn about life- right? Learn from our mistakes?

[jahaims]

No, that is what people tell themselves to cope with being a fuck up

[Anonymous]

Nope. Pretty sure Christopher Reeve Regretted getting on that horse.

[glennos89]

Yes 💯

[beefcakebradybatson]

Sometimes.
