do you regret any thing from your life

[aggie49]

the only thing i regret is in a fight with my brother and it was a bad fight i told him i wished he was dead and a week later he died i still can't let that one go but there is nothing i can do but pray he knew that i didn't want that i love him no matter what he or i did  and he was so young when he was taken away but i know he is up in heaven with my other loved ones and  i know he is hearing it from all them that i loved him no matter what

aggie49, please don't dwell on that.  You were young when you said that and I know your brother knew you didn't mean it.  We have all said things we regret.  I know you have kids, did they ever say I hate you?  My girls often said that to me when I wouldn't let them do something that"everyone else can do."  Did they mean it, at that time probably yes, but when they calmed down no.  From your posts I know you are a kind, loving person and said that in the heat of the moment.

I am sure that is a lot to hold on to, but you need to know that your brother forgives you and I am sure he is the angel on your shoulder. We all say things in life we regret, but it's learning from those mistakes that makes you a better person.

I have regrets; but I learn from them and just move on.

I did the same thing with my father and I never saw him alive after that - human nature wise he kind of deserved my anger but I spent approximately 40 years feeling guilty. I have come to grips with it because I know I loved him I was hurt, he knew I'm sure and all that is wiped away in heaven so............ we just have to do the best we can.  But I still regret it.

    Lesson learned: Never fight with anyone...Words can be deadly.

Wow.  Can I ask what happened to him?  No matter what it was it was not your fault.  I think all siblings fight and have probably said something like that.  I know and understand how you feel bad but don't beat yourself up forever.

As for an answer to your question.  Yes, there are a lot of things I regret or wish I had done differently.  I think it is like that with everyone.  Hind sight is 20/20.  If I knew then what I know now.

Not trying to keep my family ( 2 brothers and me) together after my parents passed. None of us talk to each other anymore.

It actually is wiped away here if we ask for forgiveness.  All you have to do is ask God to forgive you for anything that you do.  Like I already said, I think we all have said things we regret.  I almost said something horrible a few weeks ago to someone I love a lot.  I was really mad.  I caught myself and stopped before it came out of my mouth.

There are some things I have done years ago that I am ashamed and embarrassed off. Sometimes I find myself reminiscing of these things and feel awful, I try to keep in my mind though that my life wouldn't be as it is now had some of those things not have happened.

Sorry about your lost but I regret not spending a lot of time with my great grandmother

Everything that happens in life...everything we do...everything others do that effect us...all of that shapes and molds us into who and what we are.  I know a woman who was mid 40's and she died a couple of years ago.  She was basically worthless.  All her life she had been in trouble with the law for stealing and drugs.  Worthless seemed too good of a description for her.  Having said that, from what I understand she was saved before she died, which is great.

I found out very recently her father pimped her out all her life started when she was about 7 years old.  Her father sold her (his daughter to men for sex when she was 7??? and all her life growing up???)  It's no wonder she turned out like she did.  Although I think if it were me I would have run away.

Most of us don't have things as severe as that but everything including being bullied in school, mistreated at work, being used, everything that happens makes us what we are.  And things we do have a bigger effect on others than we may realize.

I regret not being nicer to my mom when she was alive and not spending more time with her.

There are many things that I regret from my life.  If only I had a chance to go back to do it over a different way.....

Plenty;but wasting time regretting too is regrettable
