If you could change the past, but it would change the present and your entire life, would you do it???

Answer 1

That's a funny concept isn't it? If you changed one small thing then everything could turn out differently. For example if you were late for the bus this morning but caught it just in time what would have happened if you had stopped to tie your shoe lace on the way? You would have probably missed your bus, you'd have been late for work and you could have hours of time to catch up later this week.

If you imagine how many decisions you make everyday of your life. You could decide to look at an advert banner on the way to work and the information could change your life. Or you could have given an essay in 15 minutes late at Uni and it could have changed your life forever - meaning you wouldn't get a First Class and then that dream career you had worked so hard to get would not be yours.

What if you went back to when you were 5 years old and contradicted every decision you had made since then - so you turn left instead of turning right or you choose a fat-free pizza instead of that squid turnover you had in Greece, which gave you food poisoning and consequently ruined your holiday?

There are lots of things I would alter in my past. But then there are lots of things I would love to keep. How could you ever choose which ones to keep and which ones not to keep? If you changed a decision you made on May 8th 1983 how could you possibly decide to keep the day you decided to buy your Fiat Punto because that decision might never materialise in the alternative reality. You might end up living in a different town had your decision been different in 1983, meaning you would never have seen that dream Fiat forsale in your local newspaper.

Changing the past would be a complex venture and you would have to get a Degree studying time-travel and the past before you could ever think about tampering with the past.

Answer 2

Oh boy, would I! I would change just about everything! Work harder, join a gym at 18, network a lot, have sex sooner, stay in New York (where I lived for two years) , eat better, write more, take more language courses, keep on good terms with 'useful' people instead of telling them to go to hell. A million other things. It's all I think about, but it's pointless to have regrets!

Answer 3

No. i have so many reasons for this.

if you change your past you never know what would change in your present. something that is very dear to you might change like your family, friends or special possession. even if you could change the past, it is better to not change it. evem if you did something really bad, don't change it as it leads to something else. eventually, all of these things will lead to something good. thats basically life.

Answer 4

depends, if would change for the better then definately, but some might say we all have to make mistakes to learn from them and whats done is done. whats the point in hangin on to the past, look ahead my friend and stop worrying. find your own path in life

Answer 5

IF i could change the past and change the present and change my entire life i would do it because it would chnage my badddddddd life that i have...

Answer 6

It depends what it is. If I could go back and stop my angel Kevin from dying, I would do it. If I could do this I wouldn't be sitting here typing to you, I wouldn't be miserable at university, in fact I wouldn't even be at university. It really would change my life forever. I'd be happy.

Answer 7

YES!!!!

Because if you can change the past knowing what you know now, it probably make for a better life!

Answer 8

Interestingly, scientists are now coming to believe that even if we could time travel we couldn't change the past. Ever heard of the grandfather theory?

This states that if you go back in time and kill your grandfather, you would kill yourself in the future cos your grandfather wouldn't be around to sire your father and then he wouldn't be able to sire you.

BUT...there is another theory that sez this is impossible...if you travel back in time and kill your grandfather, because in the future you would cease to exist, you wouldn't be there to travel back in time to kill your grandfather. Get yer heads round that! Makes sense once you understand it.

But...hypothetically....no, i wouldnt mess with history.

Answer 9

Yeah, if you didn't take the plunge you would regret it.
Could be cool could be crap but you never know till you put yourself out there.

Besides theirs a whole lotta things i'd enjoy changing

Answer 10

Nope. All of the bad stuff in my life has also brought me all the good stuff, so if I tried to get rid of the bad stuff I might also lose some of the best people in my life. They are too important to me to risk losing them. :)
