Neither. I believe in living life each moment as it comes. The past has no relevance. The future is based on the present. So, it is better not to loose the present moment to ensure a better future.

The past...the days of the wagon trains and how the women/men/children worked together as a team to make the long haul.
Their hardships/their glorious travels/ their successes and their failures and how they endured.

As an observer I would still feel like I was there with those brave families as they made their way West.
P.S... I am adding this post script to tell why I don't want to go to the future. My future has all ready been decided for me as I have a terminal illness. NO SYMPATHY because I am living the life I should have lived all these years.! I don't miss much anymore. So, you all can go to the future...My friends are after me to do a stand-up comedy routine as I have a bit of a sense of humor about me....so, wish me luck!

My initial answer to this question would have definitely have been to go to the future. But then, with much thought and delibration, I'd say I'd rather go back to the past.

Going to the future and knowing what I would be like 20 or 50 years down the road sounds really attractive but it would lose the suspense and excitement of living itself. Imagine, if you found out you'd be dead at 76 or something, life would become boring and monotonous, even as an observer.

So I'd rather go back to my past and watch as all my mistakes, my joys and sadness wash pass right me and learn what I should or should not have done from the 3rd person's (Observer's) perspective.

I don't want to dwell in the past too much but I want my life to be a surprise for me. I think it is what makes life meaningful.

Cool question . . . When I first read the question I immediately thought I would go to the future since I couldn't have an impact on the past. But I changed my mind the more I thought about it. I don't want to know my future. I don't want to spoil the surprise of any joys that come my way. Also, I don't want to mourn any sorrows or losses before they even come. I decided, in the end, that going to the past and watching my whole life to this very point would be most beneficial. I could learn about myself that way, see who I really am and what I need to change.
In case you couldn't tell, I interpreted this question as just pertaining to my life, and not all of time.

I was going to say i would choose to go back in the past and rearrange all the timetable when my life started to become a mess, and make myself pure, flawless and worthy to anyone who is even higher than me in social standing. And would have went on in the pursuit of my career.
But since your condition is, I will just be an observer, I would go into the future and learrn morally from myself what are the things worth pointing out(bad things maybe?) so I when I come back in my time, I know exactly what to look forward to and prevent those bad things from possibly happening.

i think of it rather is properly a determination you will possibly be able to desire to make. yet once you're having problems with it now, purely think of what it is going to likely be like further down the music once you're going via a coarse patch. is this something you will finally end up throwing decrease back in her face interior the warmth of the 2d? do you want to do this to her? issues like this do exactly no longer circulate away no remember how perplexing you attempt. Your nonetheless youthful and that i think of that be sure you wait to get married. you have in basic terms been jointly for 7 months, you're probable nonetheless interior the honeymoon era. it is perplexing on the main suitable of situations creating a dating artwork, yet with those underlying issues it is even tougher. Why do no longer you purely provide the dating time, do no longer rush into something. See what occurs formerly you circulate making any massive judgements.

since i have no impact either way i would go ahead in time so i can at least know what the future holds or at least to the day of the latest lottery draw so i could come back and play those numbers and win.

I'd pick the past, just so I could visit some famous historic icons and listen to what they had to say (as well as watch them in action!)
If I had to choose who to visit, I'd say George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Laura Ingalls Wilder (and ride in a covered wagon!), Rex Stout (I'd love to see a 1920-1930s brownstone), and Manfred von Richthofen (aka Red Baron) (wouldn't it be cool to see the first, real aerial combats?)
COOL question!!! :)

Hmmm...tough question. I would love to go both ways.

If I had to choose just one then it would be the past.

I would just love to clear up this whole shebang about Creation and Evolution once and for all.

Would I actually see God waving about his hand and lo and behold! there would be the earth?
Or would I watch the earth being formed over eons through gas and molten lava?

Interesting...
