Regrets:
Sometimes, i really wonder whether i'll have any regrets when i'm on death's bed. Since i know death is imminent, will i lament lost friends? Will i have done things differently? Will i be consumed with sad thoughts of all that i had missed? Will i regret the secrets i kept hidden?
The culture doesn't encourage you to think about such things until you're about to die. We're so wrapped up with egotistical things. Career, family, having enough money, getting a new car, a new house - we're involved in trillions of little acts just to keep our worlds spinning. But are they really making your life better? Are they making you better as a person? Or perhaps you're doing something that's of great significance to the next guy. We never think of these things until we're almost down to our last breath. People often say, you do the most in-depth thinking when you're half dead. Nahh. That's what i often say =/ but it's true what.
When you spend too much time regretting having done this, regretting not having done that, you DO realise you're just eating your life away. For each "OHMYGOD. I MADE A CARELESS MISTAKE. I SHOULD BE GETTING BLAH BLAH INSTEAD OF BLAH BLAH BLAH.", you waste approximately 13 seconds of your life. As if life isn't short enough as it is.
