Of course I would.

I hate when people say
'I wouldn't have changed anything I did in the past even if I could, because this is what I am now, I would never have become this person'.
or
'I don't wish that any of these bad things never happened because I learned from it and I wouldn't be the person who I am today'.

And it's is so damn popular to say. I hear it all the time. It has become such a cliché.

I hate it because:

1. It's the same as saying that everything you do is always right.

2. It's narcissistic to believe so highly of oneself, to never regret any actions, and to believe that there is some kind of deterministic 'special unique self' destined by fate.

3. And it's so false and hypocritical to pretend that you are perfectly happy with your life, yourself and everything you did.
