In Chinese, there are 2 words for "regret".
後悔 hòu huǐ is the regret of things I did: e.g. I regret drinking that much.
遺憾 yí hàn is the regret of things I didn't do: e.g. I regret not asking her to dance.
Which do you have more of on your anti-regret list? Spending time with kids sounds much more like 遺憾 yí hàn.
- HeyZuess 5y ago> Which do you have more of on your anti-regret list? 遺憾 yí hàn type items, my `don't do` list would be a better area for 後悔 hòu huǐ item. The anti-regret list is forward looking, as in if I did not do these things I will/may regret it. The don't do list is backwards looking, if I do these things then I will/may regret it.
