    I do not know if it will make you feel any better but you need to know that everyone suffers when they delve in the realm of the what if.

    That’s why we must accept the paths we have taken and think about what we will be doing with our lives from now on.

    Pity and contempt are siblings. You only feel pity for those you consider weak.

    With age comes insight and perspective –

    Looking back on it all now

    NO REGRETS

    Even the ‘bad’ decisions that led to less than ideal outcomes we’re all just part of an ever fluid, somewhat complex but very important energetic based equilibrium that is part of a man’s unique life force.

    The evolution of the entity known as the Sky-0 could have only been possible without the bad decisions (that caused some temporary regrets)

    Some of those subjectively viewed bad decisions (at the time), laid the foundation and platform for what was to be far greater life experiences and caused dynamic directional shifts that would have never occurred in the absence of those bad decisions.

    It’s been an amazing ride, full of both triumph and tragedy. Scars present (including emotional) to remind me that it was all real and at times painful.

    If I had one fraction of advice to give to another man that was younger and willing to listen, it would be:

    Let the weight of any regrets go. It holds you down from what your true and still unactualized potential can be. And most importantly – trust the struggle. It turns you into the man that fate and destiny gives you the direction to be. You can let it break you or assist in molding you. What one chooses, whether it is being broken or embracing the growth is the result of free will.

    ‘What if. . .’

    WHAT IS

    Right here, right now. Every waking moment. A chance to turn it all around. Embrace the struggle – Become one with it. Take hold of the flame. Never look back and do not allow regrets to diminish the strength and possibility that still remains.

    I won the lottery at birth. There were no doubt millions of other sperm that were pushing forward to get to an egg before I did.

    None of them made it.

    And as a result were never given the opportunity and luxury to experience regrets in life.

    The only people who claim to have no regrets are liars, fools, and perfect people. I think you’re like the rest of us.

    I’m like the rest of us: indeed we all lacked KNOWLEDGE, and since you’re a teacher you should understand my position.
    If you would have been Mussolini, would you have declared war?
    Right answer is YES.
    France was collapsing, Churchill was airing the apparently desperate “We shall fight on the beaches” speech: you could get Tunisia, Malta, French Somalia and British Somalia without efforts but few hundred deaths.
    It was the right decision, what it lacked was KNOWLEDGE.
    Same here.

    Lack of KNOWLEDGE in men is due our gynocentric society.
    We’re doing much more than simply self-preservation.
    You still don’t understand how great and important you’re: it doesn’t matter, some of your posts here are actually shaping the future, you’re really great and it doesn’t matter if you don’t grasp it.

    The regrets I have is stealing $14 from my parents when I was a kid/stealing another kids toy gun/stealing a battery and light globe from a shop (around 10 years old)/downloading games & movies when I was younger.

    BTW, I still want my gun back…f~~~er

    I think I’ve shared this quote before. Back before Bioware went full SJW retard they did great stuff and one of their last great games was Dragon Age Origins. There was a character named Sten who had this great quote that stuck out in my mind:

    “Either you have an enviable memory, or a pitiable life, to know nothing of regret.” – Sten

    I have many regrets. Mainly steming from women like many of you. I love my two sons and I’ve kept going for them, but if I had it to do over again I’d have had kids with a surrogate mother. Honestly would have been cheaper and I’d have full custody and could raise them the way I want. That’s the big regret. Also I regret the time I lost on the plantation when I was young and wasted so much time trying to get women. A waste of so much time and energy and potential of youth on the blue pill fantasy of NAWALT.

    Having said that I want to share a couple of things. The other day I was driving to class and listening to the TFM show I think and they were talking to some young guy who didn’t get stuff and I just kind of shook my head and said out loud to myself, “life is about acceptance and finding your own peace.” and it came over me like a wave.

    I think this circles around to something I think I shared before too but I’ll share it again. Shortly after my divorce when I started living for myself again and traveling I was taking a trip out of the country and had a layover at a major airport and had several delays due to mechanical problems. Ended up in a bar by my gate waiting and passing time eating and drinking. I was 39 at the time and got into a conversation with three men seated around me. One was mid 40s and worked in sports marketing. One was in his mid-fifties and worked in sales. One was older still in his mid-seventies and a retired doctor.

    Got to talking with these three men and I mentioned I was divorced and we got to talking about it. I asked if they had ever been married. The younger mid 40s guy said ‘f~~~ no, I know better than that.’ To which I laughed.

    Mid fifties guy said he had been married and got out before having to pay lifetime alimony. Said he had a daughter who was about to graduate from college and he loved her. Had a good relationship with her. I think he was the man who told me i was lucky to get out so young and said ‘if you have no lifetime alimony and you get out young enough a man can recover from one divorce… but not two.’ he had never remarried.

    The real kicker was the older gentleman in his seventies. Let’s call him Dan. Dan was a doctor like I said and he had never gotten married. He said back in the sixties and seventies he could see the way things were going and the behavior we see today from women is really nothing new and they’ve always been that way. It’s just more in the open now. Said he had plenty of chances he was a doctor. He said he learned to stay away from nurses for sure. He said he’d seen many good men absolutely destroyed by women.

    The others including Dan left for their flights but Dan’s was delayed and he came all the way back to talk some more. Said he enjoyed our conversation. He talked to me about entering middle age. I mentioned I was feeling old. He told me he looked at me and he saw still a young man with a lot of potential and decades left before him. I asked if he had any regrets about how he lived his life. He said of course there are some. Mostly minor. He did wish he’d spent more time with his parents before they passed away. He had been too wrapped up in his career. There were some moments of anger where he had said stuff he regretted to people he cared about and hurt them. He had lost touch with some people who had been good friends. But the main one was he wondered a lot about having kids of his own; he never did. But he looked at me and was like ‘But Jack that’s not a regret you will have to bear.’

    He further talked to me about getting older and seeing things differently and asked me what was important and I forget what I said exactly but basically I just was tired from my marriage and didn’t want to fight anymore or the drama all that. He said exactly. A man in middle-age starts to want simple things, peace and contentment. he talked to me about acceptance of life. Told me that one day I’d find it. It would hit me and I’d know I’d arrived on that path. He said once I had found it life will pull me off the path from time to time as life does but once you find the path he said it was easy to find your way back. In the car the other day I realized I had found that path. It was honestly such a great feeling. A relief. And the memory of that conversation with that man came back to me. I’ll always remember him. Wish I’d gotten his contact info and stayed in touch.

    I used to spend a lot of time with regret. Instead of comparing my life to those who had what I thought I wanted, I found myself comparing my life to those who wanted for what I had. Suddenly, regret was replaced with thankfulness and satisfaction. I know now, it could have been much worse.

    Im late to this one. I have regrets. Im almost 40.

    Never married and Im GLAD for that.. I do regret some of the pain ive caused in the past. I do regret being CHAD/TYRONE in the past. I have had my fair share of adulteresses…. When I think back, I feel bad for their husbands and I feel like a complete asshole. At the same time, It validates that women arent loyal and not getting married was a good decision.

    I also regret missing out on the obvious blowjobs I couldve gotten by being a blue pilled “gentleman”.

    Hindsight is 20/20…

    Oh well… FORWARD!!!!!!

    Mostly happy with my life choices, in paticular heading down the path of striving for self actualisation, a journey to build a better me.

    Lets just say that I’m not there yet, and that’s since adaptiping this lifestyle choice about 15 years ago in my mid 20s. I think I adapted a survival of the fittest type approach and refused to lie down.

    My only real regrets have been not managing my finances at a higher level, and going thorugh an addictive stage of getting my rocks off with hookers.

    Times were a little different back then and hookers were actually not so clinical as they seem to be now. So my regrets more from disposing of my disposable income, but I kept it in check as I was on a minimum wage anyway.

    Looking forward I know the next 30 years working will be challenging, and the world I grew up in will continue to morph before my eyes at a great rate of change. But I like the simple life, so in that I can be content knowing that the bar is not set too high, and as long as I have good health everything else will fall in place.

    For most people it pretty much takes a whole lifetime (or the better part of it) just to figure out how things really are. We should really be afforded two lifetimes. One life to figure it all out and then a second one to come back and do everything right based on what we had learned.

    But we each only have one life and that’s all we are ever going to get. This is one reason why I have such a big problem with people who spew and propagate bulls~~~. It take the average person a whole lifetime (if ever) to figure out that they were being fed bulls~~~ all along…

    Good thing there are guys like Captain Capitalism and services like Asshole Consulting to help people figure it all out. 🙂

    I regret the mean words I’ve spoken to those I cared about. I regret the friendships that fell by the wayside as I was busy with other things. I regret being too nice and agreeable, allowing STBxW to manipulate and control me. From these, I have learned to not speak in anger, make time for friends, and to say “no”, despite knowing it will anger them.

    A co-worker recently told me, "If you want to see who someone really is, divorce them." I have found out how true this is. When your wife drops the façade of being the caring partner, you will witness all of the greed, hate, and spite that she has masked. It is truly breathtaking!

    Really who dose not have a long list.

    Personally wish I would have planned better.
    I knew going in my 2nt wife was a mistake but got married anyway. Post divorce bills and money planning I find my self changing because I missed doing it more in a efficient and less costly way.
    Guess that is life. Perhaps before I die I will finally get it right.

    I am young in my mid 20’s, i can tell you that for me the best choice i have ever made is to leave this world the same way i came into it, with NOTHING.

    Nothing to win nothing to lose, living a happy and simple life.

    Children? pffftt overrated brats that when you die will sell everything and mess up their lives no matter how good of a daddy you were.

    Wife? PFFFFTTT, give me freedom or give me death!.

    Every mistake you have ever made started with YOU, YOU doing something that caused that mistake that now haunts you with great regret my friend, if you live a simple life and find content in hobbies and new goals that can entertain you why would you waste any time regretting the past?

    Many kings lost kingdoms, many men have lost way more than what you have. In the end we all are going to die and we need to keep reminding ourselves that simple fact of life, that we are here to make ourselves happy, not making anybody happy, that is not our job, Happiness starts from within and must be cultivated.

    This is a great topic. I think everybody has regrets, that is honest. But when you are happy in the present, you look on your regrets with fondness, as if they are scars that tell a story and made you the interesting person you are.

    When you are not happy with your life, who you are and what you have RIGHT NOW, your regrets will haunt you.

    I certainly f~~~ed up A LOT in life and could have been so much better off now had I done things differently. But it is a moot point. No one was going to tell me not to chase bitches at 21 years old. No one was gonna tell me my degree was a waste of time. I have always been one determined SOB when I put my mind to it.

    But I have led an interesting life so far. I always wanted an interesting and varied life, not the ‘do everything right’ life of a square. They might live a little longer, have a bit more money in retirement, but f~~~ that’s a boring way to live. I’ve tried living like that and I’d rather jump off a building.

    I became ‘happy’ when I became free. The red pill freed me, and now I have no qualms about living my life exactly as I want to. And it’s brilliant.

    I feel a deep sympathy for my MGTOW brothers still chained to the plantation. But you can start being free right now, even as a slave. This battle is won in the mind.

    GIVE THEM NOTHING. It’s never too late to start living.

    If I regret anything it is this. I now make extra efforts to let valued people know I value them.

    We all have regrets brother. If everyone lived a perfect life, well what would be the point. Just try not to repeat them and push forward. If you’re breathing, you’re winning

    Peace is > piece.
