How much can be accomplished in a month? For average people, it's simply thirty repeating cycles of day and night. They go to work in the morning, find ways to slack off, eat meals. If time allows, they chat and brag with fellow workers. Using up the day, they go home and share their hardships with their wives.
Such is often the waste of time.
Regrets in life consist of two parts: remorse and resentment.
Remorse usually only arises after the fact. Learning to regret is part of growing up. Being a flirtatious heartbreaker when young has a favorable term—being carefree. It's only after maturing that one realizes what has been lost is more than just a woman.
Only when one looks back, having achieved nothing in old age, does one resent oneself. Why sleep through the time that should've been devoted to hard work? Why be in a daze at times that call for the struggle?
