5. I suspect that, as the clock ticks and time marches on, many of them will find their way to regret.

Aging does things to you. It gives you long and short perspectives that you can use to check whether something fits, or doesn’t fit (ever, no exceptions? Or for this specific situation?). You may have been so tied up with work or family, or both, that you never stopped to take stock in your own particular scheme of things.

Evaluations are essential. And being objective, maybe to the point of being painfully honest with yourself, is definitely essential. Self-assess. Cuz time passes. And things change. And you may find it beneficial or necessary to act, react, or respond differently now than you did 10 or 20 years ago.
