A 200-year-old framework from Kierkegaard, channeled through Douglas Murray: you'll regret marriage AND not marrying, kids AND no kids. The insight isn't choosing right — it's choosing which regret you can bear. Stop optimizing for zero-regret decisions; pre-decide which pain you'd rather carry. The enemy of a good life isn't bad choices, it's the fantasy that somewhere a regret-free path exists.
