Not sure if there's another thread on this but does any wish they could go back in time or forward? Which would you choose? There are 3 things I sincerely regret in my life that I wish I could change and seriously if given the chance I would. The 3 changes I would go back and make are:
1. When I was younger in high school I would have concentrated on my studies instead of slacking (because it screwed me for college).
2. Not sure what you'd call it but something I screwed up terribly with someone no longer on the site, I still feel like a horrible human being.
3. The grades I got this past semester in college (still hung up on what I did), I failed one class, and now I feel like shit and want to just drop out (like my mom said, very unlike me to want to quit).

If you did go back/forward what 3 things would you change/want to see?

Pointless to regret anything.

The thing is to recognise what you'd do differently next time and learn from your mistakes.

Now, going to a time or place where you hadn't been already - that would take some figuring out - all the world (the Universe even), and all of time to choose from...

And we can only pick three; I'll have get back to you on that.

exactly what i thought prior to sighting tbrs line OP


for myself, if i narrowed it down to 3
Keep in mind no Real Regrets in life, thus far ..


1)
That i showed my appreciation much more to my Parents.
(i did, so no excess worries there)

2)
That i put a lot more effort into my Life Long Work ( simplified - hands on, working with people)

3)
I would rather go into the Future than look back at the past in this sense ..
Id like to know just when the World was due to Crap out,
(unlike the Mayan and all other BS - even if it meant knowing if a real God did exist, or not - incl a Satanic Force of course,is not one without the other? ha)

ignoring all the paradoxes and other serious things about regret and knowing this is just for fun.
1. go back to 1990 and NOT date Jim.
2. go back to 1989 and take that job offer in New Mexico
3. go back to 1983 and pick a different major
4. go back to 1963 and make sure my parents didn't have a fourth kid!

Yeah I see that point, unfortunately all I have in my life so far are mostly regrets, not many fond memories, and please don't mention an afterlife :eek: I can't wait for this one to be over.

I wouldn't mind going to the future to see that either, except I would only really want to see how I die, or when so I could maybe somehow prepare for it or prevent it. LOL.
