Determinism.
It’s easier to have no regrets when one believes in fate. One can just say, “Oh, well it wasn’t meant to be!” and be done with it. Is it good that such a thought system can wipe out the feeling of regret, or is it a travesty that determinism stunts intellectual curiosity by stifling the enduring question, “What if?”
