If you could turn back time

We live in this world only once. So we have to make the most out of everything that comes our way.But sometimes, during our journey, we commit some mistakes. Some of us just accept it as part of our life. Some however, regretted doing it. If you could turn back the time, will you alter the mistakes that you made? Why? If you ask me, I will never alter anything. Maybe I committed those in order for me to learn something from it. Those mistakes molded my character and help me to become more mature in dealing with life's obstacles.

I could imagine that I have been matured enough to deal with the mistakes. And of course I have been more taking good care of myself as well. Maybe I was been smart enough on how to deal with other people to the extent that I am being alert of their attitude and I don't need to please everybody.

I always want to have more time to live. I don't want to come back time. I did anythings I want in the past. I have many things to do in the future. So, I wish I can have much more and more time in the future.

You know, that's a good point. You don't really want to go back in time to correct mistakes though; it's impossible to do so. I'm not speaking from the perspective that we don't have time machines, etc. I'm speaking logically. If it were possible that we could time travel...we are going back to the past...well in order to go there physically, it would require you to go there mentally. In other words...you can't travel back in time with a future mind! In short, if it were possible for you to travel back in time, you would commit the same follies anyway...bummer ain't it? I think we've been sloshed with television and its deception too long huh? I do agree with you on this front - life is designed to teach us things, through our successes as well as our failures...they both complete who we really are. I'd have it no other way. Rafiki said the past can hurt, but we either learn from it, or run from it!! LOL
