Thank you for this piece — it’s really well-written and filled with great insight. I did have a couple of issues with the first two rules. First, time doesn’t heal everything. There are some things we never get over. I’m also not sure how the loss of someone we love (e.g., Bill Gates’ mother) fits into the context of regret. This is grief, not regret. No amount of retrospect or internal peace making can change the magnitude of some losses. I speak from the perspective of a grieving parent. Time helps us live with loss, but it doesn’t change the nature of it. Other than these two issues, I thought the piece was wonderful, uplifting, and really well written.
