Nah. None of the above. Most of us do the best we know how, with the information we have available at the time. Regrets are futile.

Perhaps, but there isn't much you can do about it, so just confess your shortcomings and be at peace. It is a good thing, as the Bible says to keep "short lists" ie don't let quarrels or disagreements come between you and others. If you have wronged someone, apologise and if you must pay compensation, do so. If you have failed to do something, then do it before it is too late to do anything about it.

Hopefully at that stage I will have already come to terms with my past and as for the things I hadn't done..no regrets.
-
The things I didn't do. I try to live my life w/o regret, we're supposed to learn from our experiences even the ones we're not proud of. I'm sure I'd feel the same on my death bed.
-
No. I will have no regrets. I have come to terms with everything I have ever done. As for what I haven't done? I'm happy just where and the way I am. I have a good life..
-
I don't think so. I try to live my life each day in such a way that I'll never have to look back with regret.
-
Nothing. I just want to get it over with.
-
I think if I have deathbed regrets it would be things I didn't do. Things like missionary work, volunteer work things like that. I think I would regret not reaching that one more person.
-
Neither, obviously I lived the life I was meant to.
-
The things I didn't do. It's possible to rationalize any action, but not so easy to rationalize inaction.
-
Several things that I have done were flat out wrong or stupid. But what really rankles are the things I passed over, certain travel, some land I failed to buy, some stocks I sold too early, and I chose the wrong woman to be married to.
-
In a big way, I have never done anything to regret. Yeah I think telling my father-in-law I was going to sell my horse buggy was a very bad thing but it was years ago and watger under the bridge. So it would have to be, things I didn't do. There are things I'm trying to get myself to do as I type, important things I'm avoiding this year and hopefully those things won't be regrets.
