Highly Sensitive People/Introverts: If your life were to end soon, what would you regret?

The tragic events that happened on 09/11/01 caused many people to reassess their lives. Many of them made major changes in their lives by moving to a different location, changing careers, improve and appreciate their relationships, ending relationships, and have been motivated to make other improvements in their lives. It's not my intent to be morbid or make you feel worse about this horrific incident, but this might be a time to reflect on our lives. HSPs are definitely capable of deep-thought!

Am I being too "sensitive" to believe that this is reprehensible behavior? I definitely have a pet peeve about this!
