Totally agree, everything in moderation, though.

I'd rather live with the regret of 'Oh I wish I hadn't done this/that/the other' than being 50 and looking back on my life regretting I didn't enjoy myself more.

Speak to people over 60, they generally regret what they didn't do than what they did.

People who don't live to 60 generally would have regretted things they did rather than things they didn't.

Obviously, if you want to live as a simple cog there's no one stopping you. :)
