what if......?

Question

you could live your life all over again, would you? and what would you change?

Answer 1

What I'd do no doubt, is be more out going, get crazy and do all the things I was afraid to do the first time around. Rules suck, they ruined my childhood, the only time you can BREAK the RULES and get away with things is when your a child. Unfortunately I was brain washed and raised a good little boy.

S**T, I'm so pi**ed off!!

Answer 2

If you lived your life all over again than you would not be able to change anything. If you lived a life again, you would not have knowledge of the previous life because it would affect your later life, thus presented with the exact same circumstances and your genes etc, you would live the exact same life all over again. You would not know that you have already lived this life before, so your experiences in that other life would have nothing to do with this life, and so when you ask, what you would change, it is a totally invalid question. If I lived my life all over again, I would not know that I am doing so. If I lived my life once, or a million trillion times, it would make no difference, as to changes, it would be like living a different life, and for that all you have to do is look out your window, at the other people.

Answer 3

I don't think I could willfully relive the most painful parts of my life so if i relived my life I would have to react differently to avoid the bits I could avoid, but that is supposing I would have the knowledge and maturity I have now. I'd be a pretty freaky 4 year old!

There are lots of things I'd like to change but only if I could still end up with my partner and children which is really unlikely if I made the changes I'd want to earlier in my life.

There are certainly some people I'd have been kinder to, words I would never have said and a speech I'd have made during a funeral that would have stopped traffic for miles around. But, I didn't and I missed the chance, but I'va also learned from it and in another situation perhaps I'll be quicker to act. Maybe we are reliving all the time each time we learn from something and act diffrently. (Could that go inside a greeting card?)

Answer 4

No, I would not. I may not have racked up many years so far, but I would not want to restart my life. I have no regrets, and thus would change nothing. I believe we make mistakes because we must learn from them in order to better shape and understand ourselves. I also invest some belief in the school of thought that humans never change, they only become, over time, more than which we were meant to be. As such, would not restarting a life time be futile and pointless?

Answer 5

One life is more than enough. I enjoy my life right now but, looking back but a lot of it I would hate to relive again. Just thankful I survived it.

It might be okay if you could live your life over again, with the knowledge you have gained from THIS life to guide you through it: However when people are re-incarnated, they don't remember anything of their former lif e(so I am told) - so they cannot profit from the lessons learned in their previous life.

Answer 6

I sure would. I would learn all I could. once we reach puberty, our brain begins to discard all the brain cells that we never used. in other words, if we only know how to sing our alphabet and literally nothing else, once our brain gets rid of those excess neurons, they are gone and we can't learn anything else (the reason we can learn more about math and such is because we learn to draw conclusions base don observations, and also learn to remember things. we don't truly learn the math, we just learn to remember the rues, which we draw the conclusions to.) I would learn math up to advanced calculus (which i am almost up to that point already, and I'm only 14) and learn all I could about sciences and American literature. unfortunately, for this to even matter (because if my memory was erased, I would just live life up to this point again, because I wouldn't know there was anything I wanted to change) It would have to take all that I know with me. it would be very odd for a 1 month old baby or know all of the elements, intermediate chemistry, physics, and advanced trigonometry.

Answer 7

I don't think I would want to live my life over again, because everything that happened to me, all my experiences and choices led me to be the person I am today. Although I wish I had had an easier road to get here, I'm glad of where I ended up.

Answer 8

I would work harder in my education to get where I am earlier - I would not have married as young and I would have left home as young as I could have. Although I believe I have been the best mother I could have at the time, if I knew then what I know now I could and would have parented my children differently.
Other than that no.

Answer 9

I wouldn't. But that's because I believe in rebirth, and I think that whatever mistakes I've made will be redeemed in my next life and I will be rewarded for the good I have done/will do in this life. I've made many mistakes, and I've had loads of good times. so long as I don't do anything to disrupt my karma, I'm gonna have a better life next time.

Answer 10

I would have been slightly nicer. And asked them if they could please have given me oxygen at birth, then maybe I wouldn't have CP. But, on the other hand, I would not want to live again, because part of life is the ability to live without regret, and if you want to live again then you haven't really lived at all.
