Sure there are things I'd do differently if I had it to do over, but every single thing I learned from and managed to pull at least one good thing from, so I am ok with the mistakes as well - but to regret one thing would mean I regretted my life and I certainly do not! Each thing helped me gain at least something good in my life!
I understand that this is healthy thinking but it makes no sense. You would grab the knife that you cut your finger with because of the butterfly effect? I think pain aversion wether physical or emotional would force us to redo certain decisions.
