Regrets

A reminder from a yahoo! news story:

"The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated," [Ted] Hughes wrote to his son, who committed suicide at 47 last week at his home in Fairbanks, Alaska, 46 years after Nicholas' mother, poet Sylvia Plath, killed herself.

"And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart, didn't love enough. Nothing else really counts at all."

No, you didn't listen to that hard enough, so I'm repeating it:

"And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart, didn't love enough. Nothing else really counts at all."
