If I could change things ...


Why worry about things you can't change? We have all made mistakes, but there's no point in worrying about them.


its not a question of worry.. sometimes we just "ponder or reflect" at the choices we've made in life and 'wonder' how things might have been different IF we'd have taken a moment and turned left instead of right..

also, reflecting on our past helps us improve our future.. regardless of how many years we have left..

If time is taken as product like clock or watch, it can be for self satisfaction with wrong time..
But can correct the current n moving time by past time made or left unwanted blank questions behind..

I'd want to change the morning of March 21st 2012.
That's when I fell down the stairs. Altered my life. Neck injury, real bad concussion and TBI.
The reason I cannot work and am forced to live of a very small income.
On the other hand side it gave me the freedom and time for personal growth & development which I couldn't have done to the same extent if I'd had to work a fulltime job.
Yet then I could at least live a full life, do things I want to do, incl. physically, that now are not possible.

I understand english may not be your first language.. and I am in no way trying to be rude.. but I don't quite understand.. might I suggest using google translate as shown below my attempt?:

Ich verstehe, dass Englisch vielleicht nicht deine Muttersprache ist... und ich will keinesfalls unhöflich sein... aber ich verstehe es nicht ganz... darf ich vorschlagen, Google Translate zu benutzen?

I don't believe in Fate, that my life is somehow predetermined or mapped out and cannot be changed. I am reasonably happy where I am in life, made mistakes in the past like most people, and I am now fully educated by life's lessons, self taught. Would I turn back time, no, even though the roads I took were maybe not always the best ones, but they were the ones I thought were best at the time. I am content with where I am in life, could have been worse. I have lost friends that sadly never made it that far in their life, never reached retirement, and you count your blessings.

I totally get what you're saying Dut.. life is what we make it.. and agree in many ways.. I just sometimes wonder what life cud've been if I had taken a different path, made a different decision, listened to those wiser than I.. too late now tho huh laugh

my dad used to tell me that I suffered more than others because I was stronger and could take the load where others cud not.. I've come thru, worse for wear laugh but still.. I have managed to survive and come to appreciate the simpler, little lifes pleasures so much more.. I count my blessings daily..

I bet (figuratively mind you) he is a certain old regular, whose mother tongue is not German, and might not actually be living in :flag_ch:.

Only if by “speaks Farsi” you mean “has somehow accumulated enough Persian to make his alibi even less convincing.”

If I could change where I live at present , it would be Sweden.....I was informed last night that the gals dont wear panties on a regular basis .....Hmmmmm!!!

And if I could turn back time, then I would turn it back to Paris in the 1920s....and party on with all the great writers and Jazz musicians of that time ...

Actually the Versailles treaty ending WWI was signed in June of 1919.

And I also think that Paris right after the war to end all wars would have been a wonderful place to be if you had some money, not only for the writers, artists, musicians, and poets, but also the night life. Up until June of 1940 anyway.

One bad point though, no penicillin if your enjoyment of the night life happened to be a little indiscreet.
