Is it better to regret something you have done?

or

regret something you did not do?




this question sprung from a song by my favourite band - dream theatre

Regret something you did not do.

If you never tried it, you'll never know. If you have already tried it and are regretting it, at least you can never say, "What if"

I suppose it depends on what it is you did or did not do.

Regret something you did... otherwise you end up spending your life wondering what would have happened if you didn't do it

Regretting having done something usually means some kind of consequences.
