To know more about this let's acknowledge a story.

One day according to an old story , a man with a serious illness was wheeled into a hospital room where another patient was resting on a bed next to the window. As the two became friends, the one next to the window would look out of it and then spend the next few hours delighting his bedridden companion with vivid descriptions of the world outside. Some days he would describe the beauty of the trees in the park across from the hospital and how the leaves dance in the wind. On other days, he would entertain his friend with step by step replace of the things people were doing as they walked by the hospital. However, as time went on , the bedridden man grew frustrated at his inability to observe the wonders his friend described. Eventually he grew to dislike him

 and then to hate him intensely. 

One night , during a particularly bad coughing fit ,  the patient next to the window stop breathing. Rather than pressing the button for help , the other man chose to do nothing. The next morning the patient who had given his friend so much happiness by recording the sights outside the window was pronounced dead and wheeled our of the hospital room. The other man quickly asked his bed be placed next to the window, a request that was compiled with by the attending nurse. But as he looked out the window, he

discovered something that made him shake : the window faced a stark brick wall . His former roomate had conjured up the incredible sights that he described in his imagination as a loving gesture to make the world of his friend a little bit better during a difficult time. He had acted out of selfless love.

This story truly express the feeling of misgret too.
