You can be 2 or 92, and believe that snow on the ground means its cold outside. No, Polaris, I am not Buddhist either. They worship several gods, I worship no one.

~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Forgive me if I'm wrong, but your beliefs sound very similar to Buddhists'. If you believe that "those of pure spirit ascend", or "those of 'the word'" ascend, and that there are no Gods, that'd be the closest to what I'm hearing from you. okay' date=' steering away from philosephy and religion, there are alot of things I would like to change[/quote'] A great deal of time and power's necessary to actually make a significant change with a population the size it is today. Even with all of our people, none of our philosophers are anywhere near the fame of deceased ones. It's harder to get one's voice across. It's harder to convince people who have the amount of information directed towards them that they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huntar! Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Wrong. When you change something in the past' date=' you could've made things plenty worse in the present. You never know what you might've changed, which would be bad. You could say only to fix small things, but at some point you'd want to fix something big, which would then change the present for the worse. OR You could've made the world a better place. You could've changed the course of the world, in a way that has changed the History textbooks. Time travelin' be srs business, son.[/quote'] You never know. Are our powers of alteration divine or simply within human limitations? Assuming' date=' divine. If you change one thing it basically screws up your present and how would you be able to control all the events? You make another one to fix what was screwed up. It's impossible to make one's life perfect. Think outside the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Lining Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 In all "non-reality", whatever happens in the past is always going to effect the future. And it might not always be for the better. Perhaps you had one chance to go back and fix everything- for example, today you were fired from your job. So you go back and fix it. But it turns out that if you hadn't been fired, you would have accidentally set off one of the bombs your company makes and killed everyone within a thousand miles. And really, if we didn't make some of those mistakes- the mistakes that we now consider to be regrets- would would never learn anything, now would we?

Brushfire Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 It's a "what if" situation guys, stop looking too far into this. And if I could, I probably wouldn't take it. I'm not sure if I like living normally or if I'd take this idea of sitting there being the richest man on Earth just because I was given the chance to change my mistakes. There any many mistakes I've made, 90% of which I regret, but should I change them? No, I'll learn from my mistakes, and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure mind. Having a subconscience makes that awfully difficult. Pure thoughts breed thoughts of "as opposed to...?" which lead to the potential impure influences, however small. Your mind wouldn't be totally pure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muluck Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Perhaps the words of Thomas Edison will help you Hunter. "I did not fail a thousand times, I merely found out how not to make a light bulb one thousand ways." Or something like that. Meaning, learn from your past don't try and change but learn from it. So that future generations might be able to skip the mistakes that you have made. To Polaris, again you misunderstand. Your taking things to literal. It is not the "pureness" but more of the enlightenment. Right now, you probably don't realize that the "apocolypses" actual meaning is "to reveal". So in Revelations in the Bible, when they say the appocolypse will come. You would assume that it would be the end of the world correct? But now look beyond that, and it is still the end of the world, but the end of the world as you now know it to be. Not the actual destruction of the earth. Just a deeper understanding of it.

~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 To be quite honest, I tend to just not take the Bible seriously. So your beliefs are based entirely on Biblical symbolism? Radical, but something to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bible isn't an event, it is a book made of deep symbolism. Just like the history of the United States, as well as any other current and passed civilization. Alright, have fun Polaris.

♥ ЅϯᵲåώӀӞ℮ᴙʀɣ−ɴɨɨ−ƈħåɴ ♥ Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I cba to read all the posts before, but even if you DID shape your past mistakes "perfectly," you still wouldn't be able to achieve any other higher status in society, unless you abused your privilege of time travel and won the lottery or something. You may be slightly higher in terms of monetary status, but you would still never be filthy rich. The most you would gain out of this, would be a better relationship with all the people whom you've severed the link to. Whether it be permanently or slightly. But knowing me, I'd probably just win the lottery. Hell yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
