REGRET is horrible. Here's how to use Mussar warnings to avoid it. ❦ Mussar Conversation #28

We all have regrets about the past. We desperately wish we could go back and change it, but the concrete has set and it's too late. All we have left is this moment...and tomorrow. Regrets can be redemptive if they move us to live lives now that we won't regret later, and that's where Mussar warnings come in. In Hebrew these emotionally charged imperatives enable you to navigate the present by illuminating the future. Why? So you can experience the pleasure of success and fulfillment instead of the pain of failure and regret. Does that give you a new perspective on the mitzvot/commandments?
