Subject: BS: Question About Aging and Regret(s)
Just wondering ... I'm a few years into my sixties, and I know a lot of you are ahead of me on that score as on many another. Anyway, the last couple years or so, I find myself more and more often recalling things I regret having said and done, or not having said and done - I don't mean wishing I'd travelled more or studied IT, but things that no doubt hurt other people, e.g., some stupid judgemental comment I made one day when I was fifteen years old.

I don't see this as a problem particularly - I'm not going into a depression or anything - so I'm not looking for advice. I'm just curious as to whether this is a common phenomenon with age, or if it's just me.
