Regret is something people experience, no matter what type of life a person has. Even if that regret isn’t viewed as painful as someone else’s.
You never know where a choice may ultimately lead, so the potential for regret is always there.
You can control it to the extent that you do the things you want to do, rather than avoiding it because of fear or outside criticism.
These anime quotes about regret highlight some of these points and more.
