If you just found out you had <1min to live, what would your greatest regret be?

I'm not sure I would regret anything... I'm going to die in a minute anyway, so why regret. I suppose my primal instincts would overcome me and make me feel regret that I did not leave 10000 kids behind me. I would just be sad that I'm gonna die. It's more like now that I'm regretting things, but once I'm close to death, I think I'll feel that it's too late to regret things.

Maybe I would regret that I didn't even try to find someone who I would really love?
 
I'd regret whatever it was that is the cause of my impending demise. And if it wasn't my fault, I'd spend part of my last minute regretting the injustice of it all.
 
Not gambling more, with regard to both money and life. When you have a definite death coming up, it might make you wonder why you didn't just bet heavy all the time.
 
I think I'd most regret having never written anything of any length (except BL posts).

I like that! Me too, I'd like to write a screenplay but my immediate answer (before I read ur's) would be: Never had a long-term (over one month), enthusiastic relationship.
 
not loving my girlfriend the way i should. really, it'd be not knowing if i was ever really in love or not to begin with. my heart is torn between a woman and a dream and they both pull with equal strength, like they're trying to draw and quarter my soul. And i'll never know which one's the right one to chase after they get pulled apart.

So I guess the regret would just be not knowing better.
 
I would be very annoyed that my amazing sexual endurance will prevent me from reaching an orgasm before the world ends.
 
nothing


not meaning that if i went back in time i wouldn't change some things

but the past is gone
its only interests are to learn lessons for a better future and to live a better present with what we've done

if there's no future and only 1 minute of present, the past doesn't have any significance anymore
 
I don't even think I'd be able to rationalize the fact that I have less than a minute left to live let alone think about regrets.
 
If I could keep my wits about me, I wouldn't regret anything, because none of it would matter anymore. Oh, I see. That's the message of this thread. Any moment could be the final one, so squandering it on regret is senseless. Duly noted.
 
What if it's two minutes instead? Or five?

Or an hour?

How about a whole day?

depends how long is relevant to you

to me, one day is still too short to consider that things may evolve in a significant way (one that will stay over time), so the past (through its consequences in the present and future) is also irrelevant


for me you'd have to start counting in months for it to be significant
because even if you decide to help starving people, one week is not long enough to really put it in practice. so the future is still not worth its name

hte future becommes important if people live in it for a significant amount of time

that amount is different for everyone
 
Letting drugs and friends ruin what I had with my ex and her son. I really wanted a family but I guess I was just too young for all that still.
