What It Means That HaShem Regrets Galus

QUESTION: What does it mean that HaShem “regrets” Galus?

ANSWER: Galus only has a negative side without an intrinsic existence. Thus, HaShem “regrets” since in the final view, Galus has no value. In terms of our service, we should not let Galus cloud or disrupt us since it has no value (though we cannot make peace with Galus or not stop our efforts for its end).
