What if you never had any "what ifs" in your life? What if you never had that bit of wonder at what might have been?
I don't advocate spending all of your time dwelling on the past, on all those things that you missed. But I think that "what ifs" provide a certain amount of enrichment to our lives. They provide a bit of mystery and a reason for introspection. And, for me especially, they provide motivation for the future.
I can't say that I wouldn't trade any of my "what ifs" for the certainty of knowing what might have been, but I can say that I wouldn't trade all of them.
