Rethinking Regret

Regret can be a double-edged sword. It can be painful, and enduring, but we can also learn important lessons from it — IF we treat it right. Most religions speak of forgiveness and compassion, not only toward others but also toward oneself. Still, letting go can be difficult to do at times. So how do we learn from regret and start anew?
