People say, "if i had it to do over again, knowing what i know, i'd do ....." Do you think that it would go perfectly? Do you think that stuff just happens no matter what?

I think if you were to change something that happened in the past it would cause something differnet and maybe better to happen, but whatever the original outcome was at first, something of equivalent.......um......."badness" or "goodness" would happen anyway. yea I'm not really good with words lol.

It would be nice, but, sadly I honestly believe that it would be dangerous. A small decision we make can have a large affect on something or someone else. If we could "go back and do it all again" then whats to say that someone else wouldn't suffer for our undoing. I know I am saying this badly, but, I believe in the domino effect, to an extent...the Butterfly Effect, for me, is selfish.

No, it wouldn't be perfect, because there's a reason why certain things happened, there's a reason for everything. It's better to leave things the way they are. Plus, you can never make things perfect. To err is human. And that's ok.
Seen the movie. It's great.

well, if i knew then what i know now, yes i would often of probably acted differently,,,,, and perhaps some things might in isolation seemed to of gone perfect,,,, yet, knowing what i know now,, knowing that i wouldnt be who i am now without those experiences,,, and also not having a guarantee that i would be who and where i am now if i changed anything,, i would not do it,,,,,,,i think many feel this way after having children,,,,, as you wouldnt want to take a chance that you didnt have that exact child,,,,,

should of, would of, could of.
As for the butterfly effect, it's either a great coincidence or God's preconscience.

Knowing what I know now, I would of made some other choices. However, if I did that would affect ny daughter's lifes and others.
If you change one thing it will affect others.

its always good to have knowledge prior to doing something... but no one can guarantee the success of anything in life.. its unpredictable
