I am a religious person. I am a Christian. I am a Mormon.
Given a Christian's beliefs, man is prone to sin through various actions that are inappropriate. I believe that the major steps in a repentance process are recognizing the sin and confessing to those you have sinned against. I believe that to truly accomplish these things appropriately you should hold some amount of regret for the sin, so a principle part of repentance is regret.
Also, if I am not the best person I can be, then I should regret that fact and attempt to become more than I am. Given that man cannot be perfect, according to my beliefs, I must always be regretting and moving past that regret. To not have some regret is to be perfect or evil.
