Here\'s what I want to do.

I would like travel back in time and live my like over. I wouldn't really do things differently( at least that would change the world). am I crazy? Is this possible. I'm very serious about this. you can e-mail me @ [email protected]

thanks
 
Who wouldn't do things differently if they had the chance? Who has ever been happy with every single occurance in their life?

Oh! I see the makings of a new poll! I'll post it tomorrow.

P.S. I know this is pretty philosophical for a message board that usually focuses on the technical, but I think maybe we needed a rest from the quantum dynamics, 'eh?
 
Even the prospect of meeting different peoples and ideas would be nice.

Anything that has happened to you in your past (good or bad) has made you what you are today. I would view someone who wants to change their past as a person who doesn't like himself today. I'm not that person...I wouldn't change a thing.
 
When I read the posting the first thing that stood out was the fact that someone had an idea that I and a friend when I was 14. For some reason I wanted to go back in time two and a half years and relive some of the events that had shaped me. Not to change them, but to enjoy their experience again. A friend and I both wanted to do it and tried as we might to work it out on paper. In fact we knew that we couldn't change a thing or even talk to each other about it until we returned to our starting time before we went back. Our biggest concern was being trapped in some sort of time loop as we might travel back again and again if we could change absolutely nothing. So we planned that we could change our history one day before we actually traveled back to escape it. I thought I was crazy then too. I pondered and considered it for over two years after our initial plans until I had a near fatal motorcycle accident and realized in the pain of rehabilitation that there were some things better left in the past and done. So, I don't think that it necessarily demonstrates a discontentment in what a person is. In, fact it could mean just the opposite. It could be a person wants to relive happy times in a setting higher than story telling and memories.
