Goktimus, you don't quite seem to get the concept of regret. Regret is an emotion one feels with hindsight "after committing an action or actions that the person later wishes that he or she had not done." If HD knew that he would later regret the decision then he wouldn't have done it. It's like breaking up with someone and later wanting them back. Countless people on this board have gotten back into collecting Transformers and regret selling/giving away their childhood collection. In your whole life, have you yourself seriously never done anything you regret? If so, then it should be approximately the same concept.
