 Paul Watson- A person without regrets is a person who has not lived a life of diversity of interests and cause.

I remember watching late night talk shows when I was considerably younger and hearing more than one celebrity superstar claim that they wouldn't change a single thing that occurred in their lives. "Not one thing?" the interviewer would ask, "No, not one," would come the reply- confident, secure, self satisfied.

Really!? You've lived a good portion of your life, and no matter how damn lucky and talented you are- there's not one single thing that you wish you'd have done differently? One thing you said that you wish you could take back? One time you should have spoken up and instead... said nothing? There's not one thing you ever did that you're sorry about? One time you regret not doing anything at all? REALLY!?!?

So, you're like this perfect person, the ultimate human being!? Never made a mistake, never made a wrong move, never hurt anyone unnecessarily... I've never, ever met anyone like that! Because the only other explanation is that you're a selfish, callous, uncaring excuse of a human being who couldn't give a rat's ass about anyone other than themselves- and there's lots of those...
