I would have started diving sooner, and would look more like RavenC!

Ok, I´ve read the previous posts and think most of them make a great deal of sense but as I agree with the "medium is the message" school of thought here´s my attempt to formulate my ideas about this subject and maybe make a few converts
Here goes:
I regret the things I haven´t done, not the ones I have...
my biggest regret is of course not having done more "things".
My approach is not to dwell on this but instead to try to do more things TODAY, or tommorow and I find that attitude helpful in getting over my regrets over past inaction.
I´m open to trying everything (well almost anyway) once and I think that helps me do things that I might otherwise not dare to do.
I also try to continuosly learn new things as I feel that helps me grow as a person, I wouldn´t go so far as to say that a person is the sum of his/her experiences but I think it´s pretty close to the truth.
I find it ironic that a lot of people live their lives as if they fear life more than death (even if they usually claim the opposite).
The theory of a multiverse is also a comforting thougt during those times when regret threatens to overwhelm me, that somewhere there is a version of me living the path of the different choices...
Any regrets? -Only my regrets!!
