Interpretation
The line uses dry, self-deprecating humor to name a common modern frustration: spending scarce attention on people who do not reciprocate basic consideration. By calling this attention a “main regret,” the speaker reframes emotional rumination as a misallocation of life’s resources—time, thought, and care—suggesting that the true cost of inconsiderate behavior is not only the harm it causes but the mental space it steals afterward. The aphorism implicitly advises a boundary: reserve reflection and empathy for those who act with empathy, and treat disregard as unworthy of prolonged inner debate.
