How often have you heard people say that they would like to change everything and turn back time if they could? I would wager that you have heard it often enough.
Well, it may seem quite tempting, but upon further thought, even if I could do so, given such incredible power, I would not.
The past is not a very appealing thing to think of.
When I think of times that I could have done, and things that have turned to a place where I can never reach, all because I made cowardly decisions, it hurts badly.
When I think of the silly and immature things I did back then, it hurts too.
And being reminded of it all by those observable changes in the present and impending future do not help at all.
And, of course, often the good memories are overruned by the bad ones.
But instead of labelling everything as good and bad, black and white, I would like to categorise them all under one happy roof. No matter what they are, they are the truth that will stand it's ground forever.
And the truth form memories that shape my experience. And this is experience that I would never trade away for anything in the world, for it is part of me.
It may be painful, happy or fearful, but these memories are the greatest and most unique gifts that I can never get again if I discarded them.
So, why would I want to go and change the past for?
