[FONT=&quot]… Would you have any regrets?[/FONT]
Not really, no.

I would have preferred to live longer, though, so that I would have been able to accomplish my goals. Dying after being raised for 18 years by parents, and then less than a year after graduating from college, is a pretty bad return on investment.

Death would be no different than life except that my conscious would be no more. Otherwise yes I'd have typical regrets. I would love to leave some positive legacy before I go.

No. What's to regret? It's not like you chose to be born, nor do you have a choice in dying. I suppose those who lived lives of selfishness and mistreating others would have cause to regret.

I suppose if one only defines regret in only one sense. For me it would be something of completely different nature. My regrets would involve not living the life to the extent of trying or experiencing new things, not getting involved more with society or making some difference. Then again, perhaps it is better just to aim toward that which is attainable and not so unrealistically ideal.

I am pretty satisfied, and I don't have many regrets. I don't have very much stuff, but it often occurs to me to write a statement that if I died today or tomorrow I wouldn't feel ripped off, for the comfort of my parents.

Well I can’t say if really matters or not. I know I wouldn’t have any.I was probably in a good mood when I made this thread too and have no idea why I made it. Maybe it was the alcohol I don’t know.

Something strange happen after I made this thread though the other night.

I ended up having sleep paralysis and my dreams turned lucid. It was probably one of the most amazing nightmares I have ever had. I was pinned down to my bed, couldn’t move, and started breathing real heavy. A lot of other stuff happen, but I can’t clearly describe it. I knew I was sleeping and in a dream state, but I was conscious and couldn’t move or do anything. I would try to get up out of bed and couldn’t do it. I was using one arm in attempt to pick up the other when neither one were actually moving. Would try to pickup my leg and it was stuck to the bed.

I started yelling at people in the other room because I could hear them talking. But I wasn’t really yelling because that was only what my conscious felt like doing. I was probably ****** at that point.

I was eventually able to stand up, started walking and began to walk out of my room, but my body was still on the bed. The only way I knew that I was still dreaming was because it felt like my legs were broke, I could tell I wasn’t actually walking. So it was a temporary out of the body experience type of thing and the dream was not going anywhere and I was like well ****, let me try this again. So I was back pinned down to the bed after I jumped back into my body. I kept thinking I had broken out of the sleep-dream state, but in reality I hadn’t. Finally I broke free from the dream and into reality and remained conscious of it. Went into the other room and asked if anyone herd me yelling for them and of course the answer was no. I was like Alright! Went back to sleep. Had the same dream again! The second time it was 10 times harder to become un-trapped. When I broke out of the second time, I was like alright… no more of that mess and no more out of the body experiences. Went back to sleep and didn’t have the dream again.

So… I am not real sure what all of that was about. So I will have to see what other types of dreams I have. Hopefully they get better if I have any more. I read once someone has lucid dreams it is a life changing experience. I didn’t notice anything so life changing to be honest. But after writing about it and thinking about it. It does seem kind of trippy.

I think the original question would have been better asked in a form such as:

If you were aware of your approaching death within the next 5 hours, would you regret anything?
