”Would you rather you had the ability to see the future or change the past?”This is a question that everyone is asked at least once in their life .There are a lot of people who I’m sure will say the future to this question, but there are also a lot of people who says the past .Why are there so many contradictory answers when this question is so simple ?In this writing, I will tell you about my own answer to this question .
About the people who say ”see the future” to this question ,the reason that they choose this answer is mostly people are anxious about their future ,job ,love life or maybe about everything but what they are most worried about is life .And actually they are right to be worried about everything .Because we don’t (and actually we can’t) know what life will bring us .Although not everyone says it, they are little stress about it, but some of us are a little more because they want everything to be planned which is impossible .
And the other people whom choose ”future” ,they just dont want to see the past again .Because what happened has happened, they think we need to look ahead for the new things instead .
I am one of those who choose the option to go back to the past .Because in my opinion, correcting what has been done in the past or at least reliving those events with our grown and changed thoughts will change everything that happens in the future .I’m not saying that anyone with a bad past cannot be happy in the future, but those with a good past will of course have an easier and happier future .And also, if something needs to change for a future situation, that will be easy for us .
If we look at the emotional side of this, we will have the opportunity to see the people we missed or lost in the past .And we can relive the memories that we had a lot of fun and the important ones of course .We can also see important events that happened before our lifetime .Such as ;discovery of america ,wars or every important date you can think of .
These are just my thoughts .To summarize briefly ,for me in many ways, “going back” makes more sense than “seeing the future”, but of course, everyone’s priorities are different .How do you think about this ?
