Regret




Regret is a form of time travel. If only you hadn’t decided to go to the gym that day you would never have met up with the lover or friend who has become such a bane--or had that fender bender in the parking lot. In fact, the expression "accident waiting to happen" expresses the notion of predestination, another way it’s put: everything is as it’s supposed to be of it would be different. Max Weber’s The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism monetizes the aphorism. One’s class is therefore legitimized as a divine calling. You may marry your mother or father first time around, but what follows might as well as well be a factory part. Free will has little to do with what you do or who you choose to do it with.
