This is something I've been thinking about a lot recently... I don't believe in sin: I believe in mistakes that you don't learn from. And I think that regret is a wasteful emotion. As long as you learn the lesson you needed to learn from that mistake, then the experience was a good one and therefore is not something you need to carry around with you in the form of guilt, self-doubt, and perpetual feelings of failure that constantly undermine your psyche.
Learn the lesson (i.e. stop repeating the same mistake), accept that the lesson was necessary, and let it go.
(For the record, yes, this is MUCH easier said than done)
