Have you ever wondered ... ?

Have you ever wondered how your life would be like if you didn't/ did take a certain path in a fork during the course of your life ? Have you ever wondered what life would be like if you didn't make that decision and took another alternative instead?

I know I know, you shouldn't look back and instead focus on what's ahead... but sometimes I can't help it but to mirror my past ~ To look at the path that I took, if there were any better ones I should have taken, or should have avoided... Paths that couldn't be seen until it was too late, or just did not want to see...

If you were able to go back in time, would you actually do that and tell your old self to change your current trajectory ? Or will you just encourage yourself to proceed on with what you're doing?


P/S : Regarding the previous post, the short verse was taken from a Squaresoft original called "Chrono Cross".

Nope, because we'll never think through the choice that we don't understand :)

I think it is better to keep looking ahead, the choice you made makes you the man you are today. No point thinking whether you made the right decision, you can't change the past.

j.wang : true, but this will contradict the saying "don't let history repeat itself" won't it? :p You have to mirror your past in order to make sure you don't repeat a horrible event in the future rite ?

Anonymous : That's true, but are you telling me you never look back at your actions and never wondered if you could have done it better ?
