If you could - would you turn back time?

When people look at their own pictures from earlier times, from their youth, they take a long breath and say: I wish I could be young again, I wish I could go back in time.
Are you among those? What are some reasons for this wish? I think when we made some mistakes, we would make similar or totally other ones in that second chapter.

  • Thanks, Jewels. I understand you 100%, because My life as a kid and even as a teenager was so hard ( survival at the end of World War II and almost dying of hunger afterwards) that I still have a hard time hearing noises which sound like a bomb or a canon.

    No....I'm very happy generally with everything ive ever done good or a little bit bad....or mistakes are there to learn by and ever if you've hurt someone's feelings and you then realize it and feel bad about why it happened.....
    a
    As kids we all do things to our siblings and parents and get told of or corrected......
    Its just a way of learning and just so long as you don't keep doing the same things and upsetting people every thing is fine.....

    Its a shame more adults ,countries , the police ,so called legal profession and governments refuse to learn by their mistakes......The trouble with them is that there is no greater power to make them.....
    :(

  • Thank you, NJ, for your response. There is nothing more to say by me, your insights are very true in my opinion.

    Only if I could do so but still know THEN what I know NOW.

    And I'd take back those words that hurt you, and you'd stay.

  • Thank you, thank you! I was thinking of that song too, and I like it. May I say it here because it just fits in:  Never ever in this or any other forum I felt hurt by anyone. I always feel accepted and even loved. ♥
