I suppose if the first group truly learns, then that's good. Though I think many who put aside their regrets quickly fail to learn from them. Maybe they can put them aside so easily because they keep regretting pissing on the electric fence, as it were.

I will suddenly find myself dwelling on some long past mistake, miscue, or missed opportunity. So I know telling you to "try not to dwell on it" is pretty pointless.
