When we think of regret, we think negatively. We look at “regret” as something that should have never happened. I don’t blame you because that’s just precisely the definition of it.
REGRET: Verb
- Feel sad, repentant, or disappointed over something that has happened or been done.
- Express disappointment for something unfortunate or unpleasant.
HOWEVER, regret isn’t so negative as how standard dictionaries define it. In other words, regret can be good. Being able to regret something can be a lifetime instruction of what NOT to repeat ever again.
