Change The Past
I got a question for everyone...
I been thinking about it a bit lately, and i was just wondering am i the only one. Does anyone else ever sit around and wish they could change something that happened in the past. and i'm not just saying, every now and again... but do you think about something almost atleast once daily saying "damn, i wish i could go back and change that"?!?
If so... what was it you wanted to change?

I agree. Making mistakes is part of the Human Condition. We all makee them and its by learning from them that we advance as people (and on a larger scale as a species).
I agree with EndLess_Pain, its much more productive to concentrate on learning from them and not repeating them then to spend time in the futile act of wishing you could change them
Just mah 0.02 tho.

Yeah, i do understand thats in life are stepping stones to learn from... to insure we dont make those again in life, as long as we are smart enough to learn from them. and i defintly do think about the mistakes i make to use them to better myself for the future.
but i guess its just those certain mistakes that frustrate me so much that i wish i could just go back and change ya know....

I definitely agree that the mistakes we make mold us into who we become, but that doesn't mean there aren't some mistakes I'd like to go back and change...
...mine involves my ex from college. Although that brings up the question, if I changed that part of my past how would it affect me today? Would I still have moved down to MD? (I moved back to MD to get over her).
What'll really fry your noodle is if you try to figure out if you would have broken the vase if I hadn't had mentioned it.

Now that the oracle brought that up, which theory you think is the "real" one?
The Back to the Future Theory:
That you can go back and change the past affecting ur future.
or my favorite, The Time Machine Theory
The one that CANT change the past no matter what, because of whatever happened made you go back in time to start with.
