What Is the Common Regret People Have As they get Older?
I saw this post on a foreign group on fb.
I must say it has opened up my heart to learn.

I thought it would help the younger folks to learn and work on some patterns in life.
People that replied that post were 45 years and above

Living with a stick up their arse because society said it is the way to succeed in life only to discover that all they got from carrying all that was mental and probably physical pain and nothing else of worth.

Thank you, ser but
Why'd wanna know, if may ask? You know that's a sensitive question to ask young Nigerian men

IF U THINK IT'S NOT PROPER TO SAY THEN...

Life-impacting decisions they failed to make until their youth signal bars fell to one or two.

For so far, one of the commonest regret in life, is not following Jesus, and forsaking your messiah.

Goldbw122:
I don't think you get rejected when you get old, when you have money and investment, and women or people around you get to have the knowledge of that you will be young in their eyes.. yeah so no man is old, is just that when you are old and broke, you will always get rejected..

I see

SirLakes:


Black innovators living in white man's land


No cap 🧢 You inherited your stupidity

White men live in south Africa and all parts of Africa, that makes no sense.

Puss360:
Not doing what makes them happy all in the name of religion...

No matter what, always do what gives you joy... what makes you happy...
As long as it doesn't hurt the next person..

What makes you happy also comes with being responsible and expenses, always be witty. Unless you're from a very wealthy home, this country is heading to doom!

firearcher:
Bad habits, unhealthy lifestyles and poor health choices that affects their health in old age.
I have elderly parent, aunts and uncles. And their current state of health, positive or negative are traceable to how they spend their youthful days

Still doesn't matter, on the long run we all gonna die!

I think the biggest for men above 55 is when you look back and you didn't have kids when you ought to have had.

The reality is that you will be having some leg aches, lower back ache may be starting. You imagine that 55 years plus another 15 years. you will need your children around you but none. can be very depressing.

That's why I actually got a lady pregnant out of love but I just need a child or children ..

Hope am not making any mistake

You don't need to explain psychologically you should know what the topic is emanating that is only for broke men without investment or loving a very low life

BigBashiru:
Waiting until marriage to date and get a romantic partner instead of maximizing my mating opportunites (and I dont mean sleeping around - just talking to different girls trying to toast them kissing if the opportunity presents, having multiple relationships but only sleeping with those that love me back and i could get serious with )... i dont do use and dump...

I never had a girlfriend cos I was doing holy holy and marriage was to evening newspaper....was very disappointing.....

Sorry bro u are not left alone I also made such mistake but after all as long as she can give birth 😜

Just manage am as am managing mine now too 🙁

Your number 9 is directly pointing to me and till date am still trying to find my feet 😢

CaveAdullam:
1. The biggest regret you'll have in life is not doing those things you wish to do.

Of course, doing them doesn't translate into success. But it will bother you on your deathbed. Had it been you tried and failed, you would have come up with better strategies or at least experience a new dimension.

2. Wasting time on frivolous adventure because it's the norm.

3. Pleasing people because you don't want to be written in their black book. This is due to a lack of self-esteem and confidence.

4. Trying to be in love or union with the wrong person because you fear being alone. Now older, they've grown to be your worst nightmare.

5. Not following your instincts. However, on this note, gut feelings don't always lead to the right place. In situations where logic trumps guts, follow the way of logic.

6. Not taking necessary risks because you were afraid of the outcome.

7. Always afraid to challenge those who intimidated you. You thought they would harm you if you stood up to them. Meanwhile, they are scared of those who rebuff their bullying and intimidation.

8. Tethering yourself to a slave-like job. The longer you stay in such a job, the faster your freedom and independence erode.

9. Being afraid to make a solid decision that you've weighed to be profitable long-term. But you were scared that nobody would support you, so, threw the decision away and allowed yourself to be led by dumb people.

10. Incompassionate when you need to be compassionate. Lenient when you needed to be strict.
Doing the opposite when you ought to have done the real thing.

If you have a change of heart and follow the long road of freedom, you'll have little to no regrets even though you didn't end up where you wanted to be.

Thanks.

Some people don't even live to old age.

UncleKoboko:

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE SETTLED FOR LESS.
If you grew up not being wayward, you should never settle for a NON-VIRGIN girl. Never.

A NON-VIRGIN girl will pretend to love you, pretend to be understanding and supportive but after some times, their true colours will awaken.
They are mostly USELESS, EVIL, careless and selfish Bastards.

But what about if he didn't meet a NON-VIRGIN and he is growing old 🤔

That's why he took such decision

UncleKoboko:

No need to have numerous girlfriends.
It's totally unnecessary and you're only draining yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually and financially.

Unfortunately, most of all those girlfriends are not better than your wife. Most of them lack good MORALS too and I'm very sure that you wouldn't want to have a daughter like them.
What you need to do is to look for just one good one among them. A virtuous and decent one. A certified virgin ready for marriage and marry her to make up for things.
An average looking church girl or Muslim girl with good morals that you can marry as a virgin is far better than any most beautiful and richest olosho woman alive.

Being a church girl or Muslim girl too doesn't guarantee u that they are good either SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE THOUGH...
Wife material mostly are found in illiterate and literariLLY SOMETIMES uneducated onces in the present day society because oloshoism is everywhere in the society now 😢😭😭😢😭
And social media is the beginning of all this make God help us 🙏

maasoap:

I know a person, 45 and yet to marry

Advise that person he shouldn't be waiting for marriage because not everyone will actually marry but he should try and impregnate a girl ..
Tell him to forget about love for now but just a woman he likes that's all and make sure he pregnant her ..

because it's getting older more and more and he will need kids to look after him die to old age ..

FRANKOSKI:
r

I'm 40 and single and I'm not happy about it.
God help me to marry Next year in Jesus Christ name Amen .

Your prayer will be answered as you wish but plz let me open your instincts.

Everything is not Abt religion or prayers instead sometimes for things to work for you , physical intervention and effort is needed..

Don't forget manner cannot fall from heaven or rather God cannot come from heaven to give u food rather he will send someone to you..

I.e u can't be jobless and be praying and fasting for financial breakthrough..

So forget love get a lady u at least just like or that u can manage and get her pregnant then do small parlour get together wedding and start life 🧬


It's well with you 🙏

When they finally realize that money is not what they think it is. It may bring happiness but it can never bring joy.

Huge bank account and assets but:
1. No more vacation bc of arthritis. To climb stays na wahala. So masters bedroom on the second floor is out of reach.

2. They can no longer eat what they like. They are placed on strict diet because of diabetes, colon CA, hypertension, etc.

3. Seeing that they married a young wife (for males), they know that all that money and asset belong to a young man somewhere that the wife will befriend as soon as they are 6ft under.

4. If he is really wealthy and sent his family abroad, he will die a lonely man.

But If they are poor, they keep imagining what they did wrong.

Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity.

this is an interesting observation but sadly the current trend is that marriage is a scam and you see men above 40 that can afford to but not yet married, children are the most critical factor that makes life worth living,for me I think the deepest regret will be not marrying in time

He is only trying to let you know that sometimes u may not achieve your goals or plans too and while waiting u may turn 60years of age..

So if u are more than 40 plz don't wait to achieve ur plans yet instead get married and have a kid because old age is real and u need ur kids around you

Life life life

Taking risk!
If you don't take risk in your youthful years, when older no matter how successful you become, you still have some regrets.

sacajawea:

Why? What happened?

It's a long story bro

Not fulfilling their destinies.

As long as you compare yourself to others, you will never fully fulfill your purpose on earth.

You are specially unique. No one is or can ever be like you.

I remember me telling him in 2015 to get married, we're in 2023 now! That's not a bad idea though.
