If you could go back in time to fix all the wrongs, would you?

"so if something happened, it's not ment to be changed"

Strange rationale.

So if something happens and there's an opportunity to change it, what then?

Cause and effect and coincidence are all there is. If you do something, there will be results. When you think of every single intricate development in every single human beings life that somehow effects someone else, coincidence is impossible to avoid. I was walking across the road once and my friend called me, I stopped, A truck crashed right where I was standing. Everyone went "oh that's fate, that happened for a reason." My friend said "No, I was on the phone, saw him walk past the window, Chris had to hang up coz his mum was bitching at him and as a result I walked out to call him."

Nothing more, nothing less.

There's no such thing as coincidence.

I have to say I would. I've made so many mistakes in my life that would undoubtedly change the quality of my life. To go back in time and change one day or one decision would be so tempting. I know for a fact it would not only change my life but other's lives around me and who knows how far reaching that decision would go.

I would probably not have met the people I've met in the interim but the possible outcome might outweigh certain things. To think that I could be right with myself and others but not have certain special people in my life because of the altered path I'd be taking would be a hard hard decision to make. Very intense question. The further back you go the more time and events are altered I believe. So if I did go back it would be the most recent time possible while still yielding maximum results. Damn I'm greedy.

Hell yeah i would. i would f'ucking change a LOT of things that DRASTICALLY affected my life. if i changed those things ...A LOT would change in every bit of who i have become [for tha better].

Its funny how this thread exists because in tha past couple of weeks i have been thinking about going back in time and changing things..man that would be heaven. one thing that i realized is that it would be extremely BORING once you do change wutever it is you wana change because everything else that happened...everythin u have experienced would have to be repeated. some of those things...that had good outcomes...would require you to do EXACTLY wut you did. which would be a pain in tha ass. so it would be a boring, pain in your ass time after you changed a few things.

I guess it's still worth it. i read up stuff about time machines...seems i need a black hole. i'm not racist or anything so i guess i have to get dirty with some african american girlies..LOL

I wouldn't change all of it, but there are definitly some things I would have done differently.

i definetly would.

if i can go back to day 1 i would change my f*cked up life

The problem is this: IF ONE INDIVIDUAL WENT BACK IN TIME TO CHANGE WHAT HE/SHE THINKS WAS WRONG, THAT 'CORRECTION' MIGHT BE ANOTHER WRONG IN THE EYES OF OTHER PEOPLE, SO YOU END UP WITH 'WRONG' THINGS BEING CHANGED INTO 'RIGHT' THINGS CONSTANTLY. THE PROBLEM RESULTS FROM THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO UNIVERSAL RIGHT OR WRONG.

true that is, plus u dont have the right to change the destiny of anyone other than urself and ull definately affect other people, secondly u urself are not the person u were in the past and hence do not have the right to mess in "their lives"{just imagine if a guy who looks slightly older than u came in front of u n changed ur life} also the result of U changing the past would lead to a completelu different U in the same time u time travelled from and that U wont be the same as the U before u time travelled to change the past and hence u dont have the right to mess with HIS fate

Hey, we are agreeing on something!? But this is a simple subject, so the answer, IMO, is pretty obvious in any straight thinking person's mind.
BUT I BET THAT A RELIGIOUS PERSON WOULD NEVER AGREE ON THIS, AS GOD DICTATES TO ALL HIS SHEEP THAT THEIR IS IN FACT AN ABSOLUTE, UNIVERSAL RIGHT AND WRONG, RIGHT?

Maybe but depends on how religious the person would be.

I'm still pondering on the concept of what happens if you kill your father or mother if you time travel, what happens will hapen to you?

there are universal rights and wrongs but they really do depend on the situation and cant be labelled, and sometimes the difference between right and wrong might be too blurry to figure out if at all its there in the first place.

Interesting question. Supposedly a life without regrets is a life not lived, BUT if you went back in time and fixed all the wrongs, you would get the most out of life.

So.....

Me? Hell yes, I would. For everyday in my life that I had the chance to do something more worthwhile then what I did, or tell one of my crushes how I felt about them, didn't, and they moved, or got boyfriends, or lost contact with. Hell yes I would, in an instant.

THere are two options.

Either the past was not perfect, so there is no reason to re-live it.

OR

The past was perfect, so why try to ruin it.

An imperfect past is no reason NOT to re-live it. The definition or the meaning of 'Perfect' is relative to an individuals standards and opinions. You are posing an absolute ultimatum on the question of the past when you only limit it to two options exclusively; the past cannot be descibed as having been perfect or imperfect in an absolute or universal sense, it is subjective in the utmost sense.

I believe in maths you have learn about possibilities right? So I believe now you know that coincidence does exist??

By the way, coincidence is same as destiny, both serve the same purpose.. all you have to do is realise that in a chart of hierarchy, those lines could lead up to one point where you must cross, in life or (imaginary)? (have to think about that)...

I seriously have to admit that I don'T know what the chart of hierachy is, can you maybe explain that further?

hierarchy chart is a thing I made up my own.... basicly it is just a list of possibilities ordered hierarchyly.

(draw it to understand it better)
example would be--> money would be under the hierarchy of power. That is because if you want money, then you would want power also, but if you want power, doesn't mean you want money, that's why money is under power, and not = power.
phobia and reality is under the hierarchy of fear, as you already should know, and phobia is under the hierarchy of imagination, because phobia is imaginary and not real, as I made that proverb "to overcome your fear, you have to control your imagination".
If you can list out a full list of hierarchies, then you can figure out how he/she thinks. But then people's thoughts are also include examples in the hierarchy. So it's won't be that easy at the moment.

Hope you understand now..

I wouldnt cuz my experiences have made me who I am. thats how you know not to make the same mistakes again.
