"You can't regret the life that you dind't lead" Junot Diaz

I do not agree with this quote. It just doesn't make sense at all. Not being able to lead your own life should give a good reason to be regretful. Not everyone can be a leader, that I understand. But everyone is capable of leading their own life. We have a lot of complainers in this world. Specially in wealthy countries. I remember a picture on facebook about a young man carrying a big bag of rice with one just arm because he lost the other. What brightened the picture was not only his courage but the smile on his face. There was another picture that showed African women carrying their goods. And underneath that picture it said: "If hard work truly gave success, every African women would be a millionaire." My point is that the people that should be complaining are the ones shutting their mouths and just doing what has to be done in order to survive. Their work might not give them anything lucrative but at the end they know they have done everything they could to find comfort.

So, yeah!! you should regret the life that you didn't lead because your existence might be insignificant.
