An Unregretful Misery Or Not ?

"Suffering is but another name for the teaching of experience, which is the parent of instruction and the schoolmaster of life .” - Horace

Hmm life ? Life's something we all experience, and something we all pretty much take for granted. We make mistakes and say ''fuck it'' and then sometimes even continue to make the same mistake without realizing it until it begins to create a big impact on our lives. Some live their lives miserably and are able to get of hold of anything they need, but decide not to while the others live their lives peacefully with only a few regrets. Now the question is, can someone live life miserably with no regrets because they've learned so much from their sufferings ? Thats something I'm unsure of, but I'm sure its possible. An unregretful misery is what I think that possibility is called. But I think most of the rich and famous go through this. Since they're lives are pretty rough. Come'on now, its a known fact that its harder for them to find love, friends, and a way to express their inner person without getting criticized by the world. And not to forget the pressure put on them by fans, supporters, and better yet the publicity. Actor ''Macaulay Culkin'' [ little boy from Home Alone ] has been miserable throughout his whole life. He's been used by his parents as a trophy, they've over-worked him with the whole acting buisness to take some of his earnings and they've stopped him from removing the name ''Child Molestor'' from one of his bestest friends in the world. At this very moment, his an adult who now fully understands everything that went on in his life and doesnt depend on his parents any longer, but is still living life as if he still did. He's learned from his sufferings but still continues to suffer extensively since he assumes there's nothing more he can do and that he's suffered so much that there's no pain left but only knowledge remaining. Then again there's an ordinary teen who has lost the person she loved the most and is stuck with a narrow-minded parent until she's legally an adult. There's no running from her misery nor is there a way to heal it. All there is, is to just deal with it and move on. But she just continues to make mistakes, but doesnt regret any of them because they've brought some bizarre and useful observations. Not only that but they've brought her one step closer to escaping her misery but seem to create a shame in the eyes of her peers. Could either one of the lives be examples of what I call ''an unregretful misery'' ?

''She's the one with the bad luck and the bad timing
And no one knew she was capable of rhyming,
Type of girl no person would ever miss
Cause her presence seems to provide no bliss
Head down low is the way that she be walking ,
Screaming inside as the town keeps talking,
Her problems keep occuring and there not resolving,
So she walks as if the path behind her is dissolving''
