Is There a Reflection of Missing Out?
I think regret is a big part of thiomidlife experience, and i think it has different dimensions. One phenomenon that i think was very striking to me was the sense of regret coexisting with a feeling that things hadn't gone terribly wrong. The only way you could live a life that wasn't characterized by that kind of missing out would be to live an incredibly narrow, impoverished life. So there's a way in which it's not that this makes the problem go away. It's that recognizing its inevitability, the fact that it's just a feature of the human condition,. A side effect of something wonderful about the human condition - diversity and plurality of values.
