nada on the regrets

I read something recently about how it is better to be sensable about your decisions as you make them in order to avoid regret. That makes about as much sense as building a house with eggo waffles. There is no way on Earth anyone can ever live on this planet w/out regret. By that same token I would argue that proceeding in life in that way creates regrets simply because you are acting on the idea that life is supposed to be ordered and predictable when in fact a human life is filled with decisions centered in the idea of regret avoidance while making regretful decisions. To live your life avoiding anything for reasons that are thought about and concluded upon after deliberation is a complete waist of mind time and I am not interested in avoiding shit. I am interested in experiencing and then going with that. Regrets, yes, there are many; but I would never change my past because regret is all I have and it is something we all share. The fun memories are always regretful later anyway because of all the fun you had during those magical copulations in science.
