In other words, I had drunk our great cultural Kool-Aid about regret, which is that lamenting things that occurred in the past is an absolute waste of time, that we should always look forward and not backward, and that one of the noblest and best things we can do is strive to live a life free of regrets.
Med andre ord, jeg havde drukket vores store kulturelle Kool-Aid om fortrydelse, hvilket er at beklage ting der er sket i fortiden er totalt spild af tid, at vi altid bør kigge fremad og ikke bagud, og at en af de mest ædle og bedste ting vi kan gøre er at stræbe efter at leve uden fortrydelse.
