Some sage advice from the Dalai Lama about regret.

Quote from the Dalai Lama regarding regret in situations where there is nothing you can do: “It would not be helpful to anyone if I let that feeling of regret weigh me down, be simply a source of discouragement and depression with no purpose, or interfere with going on with my life to the best of my ability.”

I’m gonna take this opportunity to say the opening of the movie Dark Shadows is the best opening of a movie ever made. (Shame the film didnt live up to it).
