Too simple?

Regardless of the context, whether as the observer, participater or
instigator, it expresses a wish that the specific events had not have
happend.

If that is not fantasy , what is.?

Well someone is about to give a reaction. It be said, is acknowledgment
of this possibility.

It can be an expression of a reaction that is present and real.

Although I agree to a certain extent (when people say they are sorry
just to excuse whats happened or try to get past whats happened), the
feeling of being sorry is not fantasy, it's an emotion, and emotions,
although they are mearly chemical reactions in the body, are as real
as anything can be to the observer. :)

Which would you rather have, 'sorry; or 'whoops'?

'Sorry' serves as recognition of pain, or loss, or a wrong. Its
an act of empathy which signals understanding.

It allows the next step to be taken. Even if by your definition
its used to express a wish that a specific event had not taken
place, I don't see that as fantasy. One can express regret with
out presupposing that expression undoes all that was done.

Reactive, like the autonomous nerve system.Real but not much to do
with conscious awareness. The understanding that all experiences are
valid. That there are no mistakes.

So many people lock themselves in a self created prison because they
are too busy apologising, or regret not doing so. It can become quite
malevolent.

Sorry to interrupt this thread Brian - but here is a link you may be
interested in.

http://www.sanatansociety.org/yoga_and_meditation/bhakti_yoga.htm

It says this is the most direct method to merge in cosmic conscious.

***
Apologies for messages from THE BORG.
They are not like that with me and are very polite and nice to me. I find
them amazing company and far nicer than human company.
They will not speak of their mission or agenda so I do not know why they are
here but they are very sweet to me and very polite.

Good luck with the link.
