QotD: Should Have Been Mine
Girl, boy, game you should have won, job you should have gotten…tell us about one that got away.
Submitted by Phil.
Well... I'm not a very competitive person by nature. I kinda let things come to me mostly. And I've been really lucky for the most part. But if there's something (or someone) I really REALLY want, I'd go all out for it (him). And when that happens, there's no stopping me, I won't let it get away without a fight.
I'm one of those who'd rather regret something I did than regret something I didn't do. So no, I can't think of one that got away (that really mattered). Maybe except my youth... it's slipping away, and there isn't a darn thing I can do about it.

The opportunity to have been born in a country where the people are intelligent/humane/sincere enough to get along/work with.
"I'm one of those who'd rather regret something I did than regret something I didn't do. "
I suppose one could say that what we do is simultaneously dependent on what we didn't do. Doing something regretful is usually motivated by a prior 'not regretting what we didn't do'. i.e. being a bas*ard to someone is motivated by not practicing the traits of a good person.
I'm just saying that for a proposed/desired action on my part, I'd rather go ahead and do it. You sound like a lawyer, arguing on the technicalities and missing the point of the statement.
