When discussing this with a friend, he said to me that given that its worked out so well, despite the extra time and hurt that it took, its hard to say that if it had happened earlier it would have been better (or even the same at all). <br /> I'm reminded of Terry Pratchett's trouser legs of time, an allusion to the apparently obvious but actually quite deep fact that you can't prove a counterfactual. It seems quite cold to apply this philosophy to something as complex and subtle as regret, or shame, but I think its part of it.
