If you have to live your life over again, would you make the same choices as you had then?

Question

Or would you take the different roads and choose the options you wouldn't thought of choosing at first?

Answer 1

YES I WOULD HAVE ,.. I WOULD TURN BACK TIME TO NOT LOSE MY VIRGINITY SO I COULD HAVE SAVED MYSELF FOR MY HUSBAND BUT UNFORTUNATELY I CANT REDUE WHAT I HAVE DONE... I ALSO WOULD HAVE TOLD MY SISTER HOW I FELT ABOUT HER PUTTING ME DOWN AND NOT WALKING AWAY AND LETTING HER GET AWAY WITH IT... I WOULD HAVE STAND UP FOR MYSELF WHICH I NOW DO BUT NOW WE ARE ESTRANGED AND NOW SHE SAYS WE ARE NO LONGER SISTERS BECAUSE OF THE PAST... THE PAST SHOULD STAY IN THE PAST BUT NOT UNFORTUNATELY WITH MY SISTER... OHWELL.. NOTHING I CAN DO BUT PRAY... MY BIRTHDAY IS IN 5 DAYS I WILL BE 28 YEARS OLD AND I DONT FEEL LIKE CELEBRATING IT CAUSE OF MY SISTER WHO WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME... ITS IN HANDS....

Answer 2

The assumption is that you are capable of innate thoughts like I have done this before and it didn't work out. Big assumption.

I assume if you live your life over again, you life your life over again. The only thing that will change is what happens randomly, if something happens randomly. If not, everything should repeat itself.

I'll try your assumption now. I know one possible future. Can I capitalize on it? Maybe. Maybe my perception of cause and effect are wrong. If I had said Yes instead of No I would be rich or have the girl of my dreams. If I had zigged instead of zagged I could have scored the winning touchdown. But, with evry change I make others make changes and before long the present looks completely unfamiliar to me. Maybe I prevent something good from happening down the road a bit. Maybe I come out worse than I did before. Is my reasoning better the second time around? Have I gained new skills? I didn't suddenly become Superman. I am still going to die. I'm going to have te same family. I may have different friends. I may earn more money. I don't know. I doubt over time the changes would continue to be positive. I think others would figt to get a head and things would end up much as they are. Why bother?

Answer 3

IF I had no knowledge that I had lived this life before, chances are good that I would do the same things.

IF I knew this was the second time around, it would be really hard. Some of my wrong choices in the long run have turned out to give me much joy and other decisions made for the right reasons have been complete disasters. It would be depressing not knowing how to get around certain situations. I think I would change some of the minor choices though.

I probably would have studied ethics and philosophy with a greater passion (Chuckle)

Answer 4

If I could live my life over I am certain that I would try to do a better job of it. There are many things that I would change and many that I wouldn't change. I do know that if I knew then what I know now I sure would have saved more for the future. I wish that I had become a christian earlier in my life, then I would not have made as many mistakes as I did. But the future is bright anyway because it does no good to look back because you cannot change the past. It is gone forever so learn from it and do better in the future.

Answer 5

Depends on my mood what my answer would be. Today being a little grumpy and stressed out, I would say I would have done a few things differently. I wish I would of realized what I wanted to do career wise earlier in life, I wish I saved money when I lived at home, I wish I picked a husband that like to have lengthy conversations, I wish I had children when I was a bit younger. Now if I wasn't grumpy I would say that everything happens for a reason and I wouldn't have what I do know if I had changed things. In all reality you are meant to do certain things in life sometimes the choice happens later in life but it will all pan out the way it's supposed to be. Wow I just blabbed and blabbed. Great question.

Answer 6

No i would not make the same choices that i have made. Theres a few things i will change. Firstly theres a lot of things in my life that i wish i never done! I wont make the same mistake twice as to do them again, theres lots of people in my life that i never gave them the time they deserved and i am sorry bout that so i will definately go back and spend time with the people who i've almost never had time for im my life. theres decisions in my life i've made that took me in the wrong direction and i wont make them again. I would not have made friends with certain people as me combined with them has just gone down the wrong lane in life, some people have been a very bad influence in my life and would like to re-do that part of my life and not associate myself with them, also theres some people in my life that i wish i did make friends with as they would have been a more positive influence on my life.
Mostly i would like to change myself, the way im thinking and acting and behaving.
My past is my past and i accept that i can't change it but if i could have the opportunity to re-do i would, only living with the experiances i have now i believe i can make my life better than what it is now.

Answer 7

It all depends upon the quantum fluctuations. If all of the particles and forces within the universe are exactly the same throughout all of time when events occur, and those events are determined by the action/reaction scenarios of particles and forces, then the chioces made are in response to the surrounding media. Being that you are assuming that reliving certain periods in one's life may be modified by knowing how the choices you made before effected your life, the particels and forces would be different due to the different knowledge you have. Simply, HELL YES!!!!

Answer 8

No way! I would not make the same choices as I did before because I did not end up where I can accept myself. The choices that I never thought I would make would be the best choices right now, and I would do anything to go back.

Answer 9

Definitely Yes same choices, since no one will come to know in future if any change will occur in our life, if we make different choices and and if the result is the same even though after changing our values then there is no fun , so same chocies is better than living life over again.

Answer 10

I think I would have chosen a different path for myself. I hate to say that because I love my three kids.

I probably would have stayed in college and finished before getting married and I would probably have married someone else. I would like to think I would have had the same kids though. I only hope that if I were to do it over again, things in my life would be better, not worse then they are now. I don't have it that bad now.

Answer 11

What matters is if you even have total control of what your choices are/were/would/could be. If you are influenced by a certain group of people in this life, there,s no guarantee that other influences might thrive upon you and make matters worse than the original control you had, or will ever exist in the way you live your life to the extent....Seriously though, no given opportunity to outlive my current life would ever be an option for me. ;-)
