Would you rather die in 20 years with no regrets or die in 40 years with many regrets?


  • Would you rather die in 20 years with no regrets or die in 40 years with many regrets?


  • @wtfjudith everyone would chose 20 years.
    Regret=feeling bad that you didn't do something
    Remorse=feeling bad because you did something

    So when you ask this question. You're asking if someone would prefer to die in 20 years after having done all he wanted to do with his life or in 40 years having done close to nothing, so everyone would chose 20.


  • Die at 20 without any regrets!
    Regret is worst feeling ever*


  • I would die at 100 make millions of mistakes and won't regret :D


  • die in 20 years with no regrets, have a better life is better than have a longer life hahahaa i think


  • I'd rather die in 20 years without regrets. What is a long life filled with what ifs and what could've been? The feeling of regret at the end of ones life must be the worst feeling to have.

    I guess I am different here. I would die at 40. I can live with regret but 40 years will give me enough time to maybe accomplish what I want in life, albeit with regrets. We all have regrets, therefore we all know how to deal with it.

    By detention a regret is when you feel bad for NOT doing something, so if you have many regrets that means that you didn't do all you wanted with your life, how can you do what you wanted with your life and still have a lot of regrets? you just wanna be a special snowflake cuz that makes no sense


  • We are humans its our nature to regret doesn't matter when or now. So would rather live to the fullest

    @thestrangest Actually, regret is feeling bad for something that is done. What you are thinking about is feeling regret for missing an opportunity (which is still something that is done). 40 years allows for more time to make those opportunities happen, rather than just 20. Living with no regrets is literally not feeling bad for anything you have done in life. Additionally, living for 40 years allows you more time to atone for the regrets you have in life, opposed to dying young with no regrets.

    Like, if you kill someone and go to jail... I bet you will regret DOING something that. Though I am not sure how having a difference of opinion makes me a "snowflake?" However, if having a different opinion makes me a "snowflake" it's better than being a mindless follower like you. I am not a "snowflake" I prefer to call it "being a devil's advocate." Sorry, if that goes over your head like my point.

    Oh damn. The definition is completely different for both "Regret" and "Remorse" in English than in French. I thought it was the same, the more you learn, though they do mean what i said in French they do not in English so you're right

  • I'd choose the 3rd option, because there is always a 3rd option :)
