I could go around to every CalgaryPuck member and ask them if they regret having kids, or took the career path they did, or married the mate they did or any of a million of the serious life altering decisions and the over whelming answer would be "Yes I regret doing it"

This isn't a big revelation, now if she crammed the kid into a burlap sack and tossed it into a river that's different.

I'm sure that if I went to my parents and asked them the following questions


1) Do you regret having 5 kids (one who died) the answer would be yes, looking back on what could have been if they had 1 or 2 or 3.

2) Do they regret getting married my dad would look at my mom and mumble and answer, my mom would say hell yes,, there were people that they both dated before getting married that might have made an easier life for them. But yet here they are 60 years later, and they may have regrets but they make it worse

3) Do you regret dropping out of school. That would be a regret, even though they both worked, and made enough money to get their kids a better life and educations. But what could they have been if they went to college.

Its human to regret decisions that you've made or actions that you've taken, that's what gives us the motivation to make our lives work after we've made those choices that we can't take back.


Show me someone who has few or no regrets . . . and I'll show you someone that's taken very few risks in their life . . . and that should be a regret.
