Do You Ever Think About...

what you would do if the time machine was not a mere figment of the imagination?

Would you want to travel back in time

and revisit a specific period of your life?

Would you want to change the outcome of

a specific incident?

Would you use it to settle arguments about how 

something happened?

How many times do you remember something 

totally differently than another person and you both

swear you are right?

Would you do it if you knew there was a risk

that it would change how your life ended up?

Would you do it if there was a guarantee that 

things would still turn out the same?

Y'all know how my brain works.  

As I was driving yesterday and 

I thought back through events in my life 

and what I would do if I 

were given the chance to go back and

make different decisions.

What would my life look like now if I 

made this decision or that decision...

like one of those 

Choose Your Own Adventure Books.

And then, of course, 

that leads to the religious based question of free will.

Do we truly have free will or is our life mapped out for us?

Would we still be where we are if we had made different decisions

along the path of life

because this is exactly where we are supposed to be 

according to divine laws?

Hmmmmmm...

I am always thinking and wondering.

I wish my brain had an off switch.

So, would you?

Would you take a ride in a time machine?

If so, under what circumstances

and what period of your life would you visit?
