Regret

I'm curious. If you had to choose, one or the other, with which kind of regret would you rather live: something you did, even though you knew you might regret it later, or with something that you wish you'd done?

Audience participation is requested on this one... like always.

Something you did, even though you might regret it later.

It's okay to have a regret when it's a mistake that you learn from. It teaches you not to repeat your mistakes. I'd rather learn a lesson from a regret than miss out on life.
 
I'd much rather do something and regret it later than never at all. You never know what the outcome could be unless you try...there's obviously no risk in sitting on your ass wondering what might happen. But, good or bad, the outcome of whatever it is you'd like to do but are having second thoughts about, will be a great experience to either live out now or laugh about later. You certainly don't get good blog topics by not doing things....
 
I couldn't agree more, I'm just curious what other people think. Alex and I were chatting about this last night and so we decided a public poll should be taken. Not that a poll on this site can really be considered public...
 
I think I'd rather do something I didn't do. I think I've learned from most mistakes that I've made and I'm pretty conservative for some things, so I think I'd rather take more risks; not take life so seriously. I doubt I would change much because I am happy where I am now and wouldn't want to change one tiny detail that would derail everything.
