I am always clam and quite. I never get temper with any simple matter.
I love poet and I like to write poem. Everyday I write one or twice poems in my diary. I thought that I would publish my first book. I am always like to acquire knowledge and so everyday I pass some hours in our central library.
Once my father said to me that why you writing poem? What is the output of poems? Why you pass your time in library? What is the benefit?
These sentence hurt me very much......my father is a business man so he thinks all things as a business. I thought he beat my philosophy and passion. As a result I burnt my diary.....with thousand of poems!!
I love these poems, I miss these poems. But nothing to do to get back them. These poems are creation of my childhood for 3 years.
If I could go back I must must save my all poems......I think these are mirror of my mind.Just like the image. The poems can reflect my expression.

I have made mistakes. I have regrets. Not many, but some. I have hurt people, and feel awful about it.
However, we cannot go back in time for a reason. Without mistakes, we would never learn how to correct them, and to learn valuable life lessons. If we could just erase things from the past, we would be very simple life forms, indeed.
I would not go back in time, as tempting as it is. The only reason I would consider it would be to experience something beautiful that happened in the past, such as a romantic moment or conversations with a dead loved one. But to change things is an insane idea. The consequences are too dire.

Well... if I could go back knowing what I know now, and being the person I am now, with all the experiences and capabilities I've since acquired... there are surely many important things I could have handled much better.
Some of 'em I could hardly have handled any worse. :)
On the other hand, some of the consequences of any do over would be pretty drastic. There are young people alive today that would likely never have existed, since for them to come into being their to-be mother and I had to screw up our relationship, and she had to go get into a horrible and disastrous marriage to their to-be father.
So given that re-running history would likely erase some people's existence, I would probably let it be.

I would only do it if I could know what I know now, what the consequences of my actions were. However, you have to keep in mind that changing one thing in a timeline effects everything else. For instance, if I chose to go back to high school, study harder and get a college scholarship, and move away from my parents, I would not have the children I have now. Other people's lives would be changed, and who knows if they would be better or worse?
I can't imagine not having my children, but I could go back to right after my second child was born and change a lot that I think would make my and their lives better. If I knew what I know now, a lot of mistakes I made earlier could have been atoned for, and mistakes I made after could have been avoided.
Yes, I would be in a different place geographically, and have a different job, and different friends, but I think it would all be better in the long run. Some of the decisions I've made in my life have hurt my children, and they are more important to me than myself, so I would go back to a time when I could make up for some past mistakes and not make others that would hurt them in the future. In short, I would be a better mother.

It wouldn't be a good thing to temper with time for a simple reason. Let's say that I get into an accident and I'm physically broken and emotionally traumatized. Then in the future I find out I can go back in time and 'correct' the course of events so that the event never occurs. If I do this, then when I come to the same point in my future I will make a different decision due to the fact that I did not have the horrendous accident in my past, and so I will not go back and correct it. Thus, the event will once more occur in my past, so I will go back to correct it, thus forming a circle of events (a leads to b leads to a). Therefore, I would be stuck in an endless temporal circle of me attempting to fix my past, but ultimately being unable to succeed. Given this plausible and not unlikely scenario, I would most definitely not attempt to alter time to my own benefit.

If I could go back in time I'd just make twice as many mistakes. Because I'm that good at it!
There are some people that subscribe to the philosophy that if you went back in time and stepped on a butterfly that it could change the future dramatically (a belief in evolution is required for that to make sense).
But what if you looked ahead knowing what you know now? Would you make the same mistakes tomorrow you did today? Would you avoid killing that butterfly if you truly believed that doing so could change future history permanently?
Time is a human concept. Live in this moment right now as though the next could be your last. And once you crawl out from under that rock where you are hiding, enjoy life and make choices as though every one of them has a lasting effect on everyone around you.
Because it does.
