What would you most regret not being able to do or complete before you die?

Asked by thanatos (324points) October 4th, 2009

It could be something you’ve done before, but, because it means so much to you, if you were not able to do it one more time before you die, that would be your biggest regret.

I wouldn’t call it a regret, but I love to travel and would have liked to have done more of it. But I did manage to get my two dream cruises in while I was still able. I think everyone could say they would have liked to do more or less of many things, but I think those are hindsight reflections and not necessarily regrets that carry sorrow. See ya….Gary/wtf

Having grandkids, I’ve heard they are so much better than regular children.

No, they aren’t better, it is just that they come with an “off” switch. It is called “the parent”.

Seeing much more of the world than I already have. I’m really well traveled thanks to my military career but there’s so many locales I still want to visit and experience before I’m done here.

I would regret not having found a way to have ever felt something besides disappointment about myself. I suck at being ok with who I am. Some day it would be nice to feel adequate. And it’s not something anyone can do for me. It’s all inside me—this disappointment with who I am. It has little to do with objective reality. In a way, it’s like defining what the US would consider to be success in Afghanistan.

Feeling ok about myself a big challenge for me, and I hope I can figure out how to manage that trick before I die.
