The famous British writer Somerset Maugham once wrote: "The most valuable thing that life has taught me is not to regret anything." But are these words as good as they seem? Is life without regrets possible at all?
It is worth making it easier: imagine one day without regrets for tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, a week. It would seem that it is so simple. Everyone has days, some of which remained in the memory for a long time or even forever, because they were filled with interesting events of some kind, while others were erased, remaining gray and wasted. The question is, how and when does a person still manage not to regret the past?
The answer lies in human psychology. Always in search of something new and having finished them, a person immediately misses what he has found. To live freely, out of bounds, to let everything take its course and to accept everything as it is - this means living without regrets, but only in your state of mind. But the part that tries to live without regretting tomorrow is not able to follow this advice. A person, by virtue of his structure, is always immersed in contradictions, disappointment is inevitable on his life path.
Doubt is that aspect of an individual's personality with which he is forced to coexist, regardless of his desires. A kind of doubt and regret are moral waste that is extracted for the normal functioning of the state of mind, as for any human body.
As long as people try to maintain control, they are doomed to disappointment and regret, since the only way to get rid of them is to look where he will let go of the wheel and submit to the situation.
