If You Could Have Youre Life Over Would You Live It In Another Direction?

Question

There's a star trek show concerning it, although most people wouldn't change themselves like captain picard chose to do.

Answer 1

yes, for new experience, why not?

Answer 2

I love my life and think I am extraordinarily lucky to be where I am now and to have my family etc. But would I do it all different if I had another go? Hell yes! Because life is all about experiencing things and what's the point of looking at the movie all over again?!

Of course, if I don't remember this life I might just do it all again without knowing.. hmm, there's a thought. So I think I'd kinda like to be greedy and take some knowledge and experiences with me so I remember things I got right and things I didn't. But then it wouldn't be the same experience as if I didn't know anything at all about my previous life and.... oh cr*p.

But on balance I think I say yes!

Answer 3

there is another way of looking at this.

Ok, i'm 50 in a few weeks, so i have a little hindsight. what we become in our adult life is shaped entirely by what we do during it. along the way we all suffer problems and have issues, they are either our own issues, or our close familiy and friends. and we listen, and if we can we offer advice and guidance..all this information is gleaned first hand...without those personal hardships we wouldnt know anything of the real world, and how to overcome them, and navigate around them if and when possible.

my life is beset by hardship, 90% of it all my own doing... (the other 10% is down to a prat who ran me off my bike 25 years ago and put me in a wheelchair..mind you i was banned at the time, and shouldnt have been there in the first place.) so we'll call it 95% my fault. before that i was in jail for armed robbery, (19) again 2 yrs later for a 17 grand blag... blah blah blah.

then they chopped my legs off...wow that slows you down.. im not joking. being a bang at it criminal is difficult if yu cant do a runner... i was 26yrs old, wife 2 kids...and no legs..bugger.

we got divorced, i got a degree, now, i work in the community, i hold several positions on diferent steering groups, i layout and edit two magazines, and help run a community centre on the estate where ive lived all my life...

my past and my experiences give a window of opportunity, to expalin what life holds if you tread my path. i have the qualifications, and i have part 3..hands on experience... and that gives me credibility and credence. i didnt learn it out of a book, i know what its like to go hungry, be banged up, to be hounded and hunted ducking and diving from plod...and trying to get a life after i came out of prison which didnt involve crime and criminal behaviour. and thast something only first hand experience can do.

im philosophical about them putting me in this chair, im alive arent i? i'm educated, and suppported by the state, i no longer have to work to feed us, nor put a roof over my head, but i cant just sit on my bum and do bugger all. my mind, as you might realise works pretty well... so i teach, i play my part in our community, and i have a great life, a great wife, four great kids...and although im broke, drive an 18yr old volvo and havent been on holiday since 1986... i wouldnt change a thing, if i did,i wouldnt be who i am now...and i like me.

Answer 4

ME YES I WOULD TO SOME DEGREE some people say no but there is something we always wish that would have been different Only if we could remember this life as we accend to the next one to be able to make the changes i needed to do the improvements or changes so we dont repeat this life i guess it would also depend on how we were raised again and if we retained the knowledge from the previous life and if you retained your adult maturity

Answer 5

NO I would live it in another direction which would mean the lost of my family. However there are numerious mistakes in life I would have corrected, and I would own a lot of miroscoft, yahoo, Google, and other companies:):).
Once yuo have a family I do not beleive going back in time would leave you with out soem memory of loved ones you ever had. Love reaches back in time even or the future.
It's the strongest thing in the universe just under life itself. It guides life.

Answer 6

We all have things that given the chance we would do over but all in all I wouldn't change a thing. I mades some really bad choices in my life and I've learned a lot from them. They helped make me what I am today and without those experiences I wouldn't be half of what I am.

Answer 7

As someone already said, I would not be who I am today (i.e. I wouldn't have the perspective or the values that I have today) if I had not lived the experiences I have via the choices I've made. They have been controversial, to be sure, but most have at LEAST taught me well, if only about myself. To me that is worth a lot.

Answer 8

you received't believe me, yet issues get extra valuable. no count number what. human beings around the international ought to provide something to be you, because they stay in starvation, famine, and conflict. you want to maintain in mind that typically life sounds like its no longer worth residing, yet you should grant it a threat. There are human beings that want you and there'll be many extra. there is so a lot more beneficial than the first 2 a lengthy time period have shown you. My lady friend felt like you all her life. She met me and my love for her makes her smile daily. She regrets ever feeling undesirable. you've a purpose the following, please do not waste it.

Answer 9

I once read a fantasy novel called A Gunfight in St Anne's Square - this was many years ago - and it featured a magician called Trik. He was said to have lived his life sideways. That's an interesting proposition, but I was never quite sure what it meant!

Answer 10

You assume that you had the choice to choose the direction that your current life took. Free will can only control so much.

If you were able to start your life over, maybe for what you perceive better or a different life. Would you want to know about your previous life to compare it to?

Answer 11

If I could live my life over I would not have taken no for an answer when my mom said I couldn't have dance lessons. I would have done everything in my power to learn.
