Or not.

By feeling that regret, you show that maybe you have acchieved more than many others who try to collect acchievments and merits - but never felt any doubt.

The way you see it now is what counts. What could have been, ist just dust and shadows, as substantial as are fantasy pictures you see in those clouds travelling in the sky.

Quite many heroes boast with how much sacrifice they are willing to make if only the others witness how great their heroism, their sacrificing, their fall will be. Question is if they still would make sacrifices and earn for example a heroic death if nobody would take note of it, and nobody would remember.
