Why kind of question is this, where do you come up with this stuff? lol
At our age, by that, I mean in our 20s, as most of us are, we haven't lived a full life yet. Obviously you wouldn't want to die now, wtf lol. If you have no more goals in life already, thats not good lol
You have plenty of time to start a new chapter in your life right now, to change whatever it is you want to change, if you must, your not 50 years old
There's so much left to experience, to see, to do. Even if you've had a wicked life up until now, done so many things, seen so many things, there's still so much more. |

No regrets. My philosophy has always been, if I were to not wake up tomorrow, would I be satisfied? The answer is a resounding yes! It is cliche, but I live every day like my last. No second chances. I always believed if I made the decisions to get here, that's all I can ask for out of life. I made every decision, whether right or wrong, so I do not look back with regret; even though there were some outcomes I wish that were different. I hope this makes some sense! |

I'm one of those people that, not out of choice nor pessimism, watches a movie and can't help but to 'silently' see all of the continuity errors. Kind of a curse actually. So the problems with this type of temporal distortion jump out like crazy! Keeping with the sprite of the question however, I'll avoid one of epic answers.
I think that I would choose not to choose on all counts. I think life and society in general would suck without terms like: or get off the pot, do or die, no time like the present, better now then never, make hay while the sun shines, Dance/have sex like there's no tomorrow etc... Ya, the intensity of attempting to do it right the first time is way to huge a rush to miss out on.:toocool: |

For sure!! But still. If you say that your happy where you're at then any mistakes are equally as valid as the decisions that you liked. And were just as necessary in bringing you to the place you're at, right?:gsmile: |

There are certainly things I could have done better, better decisions I could have made, but what's the point of regretting them? It's in the past - what's done is done, and I know that under the circumstances I was in, I tried to make the most correct (to me) choice. If it turned out to be a wrong one, so be it.
Yeah, I'd have to say I'm satisfied with my life. It's not *perfect*, but I'm very happy with what I have.
As far as your "start over" question, do you mean you start over with knowledge of your previous life? Cause that is impossible, but yeah if it was, it'd be nice to have I guess. If you mean just start over with a clean slate, then it seems kind of pointless to me since I am me, and beyond some circumstantial things, I would make the same choices I made already all over again, so I'd end up in the same position 21 years later. |

Ya, I agree. But I would take that alot further however. The only reason great things are great is because they contrast the bad. Grey is ok but I would always err on the side of a spectrum.
Also then, life wouldn't be fun if you lucked out and got it right all the time. The one common source of most things great in my life has been the pursuit of knowledge. That everywhere you go and do there is something to learn. And of course you should NEVER stop learning or your dead. Hands down the best way to truly learn is to up a bunch of times before you learn how to do it right. If you luck out the first time, you've learned nothing. The aversion to the pain of ing up instills the desire to succeed. No?:disbelief |
