I treated my grandmother with total disrespect.  She passed away when I was only 12 years old.  She came to live with us when she was 65.  I remember that she would walk around the house oblivious to just about everything and anyone.  Her short term memory was non-existent and her hands shook violently.  As a young kid I thought here was a grown up I could make fun of, argue with, and trick with all sorts of sophomoric games. 

Did she deserve to be treated like that? 
Not At All

Do I regret treating her with such disrespect?
Yes

If I could change how I treated her, would I?
Yes

Throughout my adult life I have had the great honor to meet and get involved with some of the nicest women that you would ever want to know.  I have been married 3 times and have had 2 very serious relationships that did not lead to marriage.  In each one of these relationships, my marriages included, I was the cause of the problems that lead to the disintegration of the relationships.  I caused these women anguish, heartache, loss of self-esteem, and loss of time that can never be recovered.  I was immature for a very long time.  My immaturity hurt these women.

Did they deserve to be treated so poorly by me?
No

Do I regret treating these women as if they were disposable?
Yes

If I could change how I treated these women, would I?
Yes


I really wasn't a very good student in school.  It wasn't that I didn't have the brains to do well.  I was just lazy.  I was lazy and I really did not understand the value of an education.  I did as little as possible to get through school and get a high school diploma.  Most of what was being taught to me went in one ear and out the other.  I remember thinking:  Why do I need to know math?  Why do I need to know English Literature?  Why do I need to know Science?  Why do I need to know History?  As a result when I left high school I didn't know much of anything.  It took me years and years to catch up.

Should I have been more serious about studying and learning when I was in school?
Yes

Do I regret not being a better student?
Yes

If I could change the type of student that I was, would I?
Yes


I'm not proud of the person that did all of these terrible things.  But I know that I was wrong.  I also know that if given a chance to go back and change these things I would.

Would I care if changing these things would change the place where I have wound up in life?  No.

The famous actress that I started talking about in the beginning of this story was concerned that whatever she did during her life led her to the success that she now has.

I am concerned that what I did might have hurt people a lot more than it ever could have helped me.

I have regrets.  I don't dwell over them everyday but  I do think about  them every now and then.

Is it possible to go through life without any regrets?

I don't think so.
