Regret is a common human reaction (I wish I hadn't..., If only I had...) it however serves no purpose as time cannot be unravelled and run over again to do things "right". To an enlightened person avoiding regret is as simple as doing the right thing every time from a instantaneous understanding of the event. For the unenlightened the mistakes we make and become aware of can best be seen as a learning event both for what we might have done better and to understand the inner drives that made us act in the unacceptable ways. Being aware of these things allows us to improve our reactions and actions next time. The "wrong" that we would normally regret becomes the guide to better following the Eightfold Path.
