Serkeen l think it only hurts us to keep returning to what cannot be changed and worse, may mean we undervalue what we have now. I don't think many people have really straightforward 'easy' lives, l know for sure that money does not buy happiness and without wanting to appear sanctimonious or trite, l do think it is better to count blessings. If something keeps hurting and cannot be 'let go' then perhaps support is needed to aid the process. I expect most of us get a bit battle weary and prone to down times if we have been through the mill, that is simply human, but if the hurt keeps coming, that needs help. Sorry if l have jumped in the deep end with this ... I guess regret holds different levels of meaning depending on how life has panned out,,but l have had to face my own demons and feel it is better to look forward if looking back makes us unhappy. X
