If you went back time?

[Arashi222]

There are a lot of things at that I would love to go back and change. But...then I wouldn't be who I am. So I guess. I would rather just learn to cope with things how they are...and understand that seeing or changing the past could alter the life I know for good or bad.

I would personally love to make sure that people understood what AS was sooner rather than later. I would also love to learn how to make friends better.

For me? Sept. 7, 2000. The day that I asked out a person I had a huge crush on, was rejected, and led to three years of social, emotional, and many times from her guyfriends, physical torture.

Perhaps when we die we actually do get to return to an earlier time in our lives and live it over (and over and over). And when we employ our subconscious intuition, we connect to that part of us (or those versions of us) that've already lived before. This intuition helps us make more informed decisions.

So, in effect, it doesn't matter if we make mistakes now, as long as we learn from them, because all mistakes help us acquire wisdom. And it doesn't matter if we are differently-abled to others, because our soul needs to experiencing all different ways of seeing the world. I think we all experience everlasting life in this way, because our stream of consciousness is never-ending. We're not consciously aware of it because it's not possible to remember something that's happened in the future or in other realms of time. Only our subconscious self knows of (or connects with) the other versions of us that existed before (or simultaneously exist at other times) and this is why we are controlled perhaps 90% subconsciously and only 10% consciously.

If human consciousness exists simultaneously across all time in an individual's life it might explain our overwhelming desire to return to earlier times, to reminisce, our remorse for our sins, belief in heaven & God etc. It would also help explain the process of evolution and where instinct comes from.

Sure I know this sounds crazy, and maybe it is and I am, but I get obsessed about stuff like this all the time. Whether it's because of my Aspergers, or because of OCD I have no idea. I get plenty of weird reactions when I start talking about it, so I've learned to keep quiet about it.

I also sometimes wonder whether Aspies are different because we come from another time, or were meant for another time; that we're here to learn or to teach. There surely has to be an evolutionary benefit/purpose behind this syndrome. Nature doesn't generally make mistakes.

If I was able to go back in time I would just observe the things I couldn’t possibly know, those things that were beyond my control that helped shape me into this awesome tower of aspergical manliness, just to see exactly how it all came about ; ]

However, I wouldn’t change one single thing due to it being a life lived and to change things would mean I wouldn’t know myself when I got back to myself, if that makes sense to you dear reader :lol:

If I went back in time I would have gotten expelled from highschool so I wouldn't have to wait til age 17 to drop out.
I also never would have gotten drunk yesterday.

 

[Deno]

Would have spent less time with other things, and spent more time concentrating on Physics and Maths.

 

[Geordie]

Would have studied less hard and work on cooking and driving, what my family needs... Slow and steady always wins the race.

Grandfather paradox.

Darn that grandfather paradox. I would gladly slip through a wormhole and go back millions of years to a time when many species of early hominids, who walked upright like us but had brains not much larger than a chimps, roamed the earth. I could be like a time traveling Jane Goodall or Dian Fossey.

Never mind about going back to a time in my own life though, It's not that interesting. And obviously it's a bad idea to change the past because of the paradox.

 

[Nolan1971]

I would have wanted a much earlier diagnosis at least by the 3rd grade! It would have saved me so much pain and misery.
I would have spent more time enjoying being a kid instead of being in a hurry to grow up. What was I thinking!!!!!:bounce:
Beyond that I wouldn't change a thing!layfull:

That paradox is not much of an issue if you believe in parallel universes. Travelling through time means your changing something, no matter how small it may be, so this could be explained as: Travelling back in time does not only change the Time value, but also shifts you in to another parallel universe. Essentially, your original universe remains unaffected with the exception that it is missing you!

Thing is, if you wanted to get back to where you started, could you? Or would you merely travel to the Time you started at IN THAT parallel universe. That's what I think would happen.

Unnatural shifts through time, cause impossibilities in the universe, causing you to shift universes. I say impossibilities because life as we know it has already happened, so IF it is possible and someone does travel to the past in the future, it does not affect the present. But the changes due to time travel are on par with how a specific parallel universe has been playing out.

Hypothetically speaking of course. I am still highly opinionated on this subject, and believe 'Time Travel' to be a thing of fiction.

If I went back in time... I'd bring a sports almanac

If I am ever missing from this forum for a prolonged period of time, this may be the reason. LOL.

If I went back in time, like in 2000, I'd pester my parents to bring me to the sports ministry's office and tell them,

'Your goal of getting into the World Cup in 2010 may most likely not work, unless you get the Singaporean people to treat playing professional football seriously. We got to have the Singaporean can-do and gung-ho attitude to be technically skilful to master the intelligence of spatial vision on the field, find the space to pass the ball around, and to be really adept in finding opportunities to outscore and out-possess the other team. We need to value football as prestigious as other professions, and something we can do well in, just like piano certificates do to many Singaporeans with higher incomes. We need to do what we had done in other areas - defying odds, working on success, and win because we're more able than others.'

Unfortunately, local footballers in my country take drugs and drink beer, get paid peanuts, have few opportunities to develop their technical and fitness skills, and are unable to persuade our Singapore community that our football is as worth watching as England's or Spain's.

Without a good attitude on the professionals' part because of our failure to understand our lacklustre football culture, despite our outward display of passion on foreign soccer teams, on hindsight, I should have talked to my school's physical education and English teachers, so that we three could suggest the possible failure of Goal 2010, even with the big hoo-ha. Perhaps it could be even better to disband the Singapore 'professional' football league, invest in football academies in cooperation with the best in the world such as Ajax, Barcelona or even Manchester City, and bring the much-needed pan-Asian football talents around ASEAN so that there will be an environment for Singapore (and Southeast Asia), to be the hub of football talents.

Writing is really therapeutic, especially when I get to write about my areas of interest - football and writing.

 

[Mr Faramoose]

I would go back to myself at school, watch myself hanging upside down from a tree pretending to be spiderman and say ''YOU LOOK STRANGE! try to stop acting strange and bullies will leave you alone!''

and then I would , hey wait, thats weird, im replying to a post about going back in time and now family guy is playing an episode about changing things back in time
yes, I would....probably get myself taken out of secondary school and get a diagnosis earlier and I'd tell myself to never start smoking

 

[Serendipity]

I would go back and erase a hateful message that I put in one of my fellow students' yearbooks. He'd done nothing to me to merit that message, and I regret it to this day, over twenty years later.

 

[HelloDizzy]

I would erase every time I ever ate junk food.

 

[Cerulean]

I wouldn't have gotten so excited to see a secret admirer message in my yearbook- since it was just this guy who liked to pick on me trying to get a rise out of me :/

 

[Geordie]

Now, if I went back time and know no matter what I do, I will have a high chance of unemployment and I will never be accepted by the Singapore Civil Service... and when I am 13 years old...

I will just study Mathematics and English and be really great at these two subjects, and hopefully get As in Geography, History, Mathematics, English, Chinese etc.

What will I do with great grades - do my SATs immediately after O Levels...

I will not have the past 7 years of pain doing something I thoroughly dislike, but have few alternatives.

That's just me.

 

[Aalo]

I don't in particular regret or have anything I desperately want to change.

If I was to go back in time I'd do lots of things based on feelings occurring that time and would end up creating another continuum, which might not lead me being any happier than now. And even if I was happier, I really couldn't enjoy of it, because I didn't know about possibility of this present, would I? If one is never happy on where they are, they should learn to he happy regardless where they are.

 

[Zidiane]

Seriously, there are of course gonna be things you wish had turned out better, but learning why they turned out bad and learning from it is much better that going back and fixing it ever could be. Even when people die, learning to appreciate the moments with people that aren't dead is pretty valuable, and so is learning to deal with loss.
