I think that a great deal of regret in peoples' lives is fundamentally connected with relationships, either because we wish they had gone in a different direction, or because of things that we might have said or done -- or wished that we had said or done. It can take a great deal of courage to "let go" in relationships, and to just let the other person be who they are. Thank you very much for your comment, Elona.

The regret had to do with a relationship I wished was closer. But, Having read this in Tuesdays with Morrie, I no longer feel regret. "There is no formula to relationships. They have to be negotiated in loving ways, with room for both parties, what they want and what they need, what they can do and what their life is like."
