If you could go back to the day you were born, but keep all your memories and thoughts (so your mind/soul is basically the same as right now) would you? You'd be able to avoid bad choices you made, plus you'd have knowledge you didn't have, but on the other hand it could get tedious going through school again. So would you?
Nope, I prefer going into things blind and life is no exception. Mistakes build character anyway.
If I only could, to go back and unfuck situations.
Yeah I agree with Carmine.
I've fucked up a lot of times really badly and I'd like to have a second chance to see if my life would improve (and it should).
I'd probably make an even bigger mistake trying to prevent one of my many glorious mistakes.
Hell no, my life was awful when I was young, I never want to experience it again.
It's also the main reason of my depression today.
Maybe when I'm a few years away from death but not now
I'm not even at a legal drinking age yet
If I have to live my life anew to fix up all of the mistakes I've made, I won't take the chance. Mistakes build your personality; living through life without making a mistake seems too perfect, sort of like trapping yourself in heaven, where the immaculate conditions of it will start to lose its appeal, because you already know its there. Nothing to gawk about, you already know the ending to your favorite book, show or game. It's things like those that make life even more tedious than it should be, because who knows, maybe a mistake I made early on in life brought me something I can't live without.
Although to be fair, there are certain mistakes I've made in the past that, if I were to be given the choice to fix them, I would, though I wouldn't go through the ordeal of living as a child again. I'd rather go in blind and let my future self laugh at all of the roadblocks my current self has to go through.
I'm only 22 years old. I haven't even lived out the rest of my 3 quarters of life left to judge whether I'd want to live it out again.
If you keep all of your memories and knowledge, I'd rather go back to live my life as a kindergartener who understands basic calculus.
I'm pretty sure that's not the point of this question, but it'd be a perk for sacrificing modern things you love.
I keep all my memories and my soul?
i'd come out of the womb and start singing showtunes
"hello my baby hello my darling hello my rag time gaaallll"
Without question.
That shit would be insane. I'd be able to fix all of the mistakes I made in my life up to this point, it'd kick ass.
Imagine how easy school would be. And i disagree that it would be boring, you always have the power to change it up and make different decisions.
I regret some decisions, but I like everything and everyone that I have in my life now too much to do it.
If you relive your life, all of those first time experiences would mean nothing to you then. All of those great experiences would be a fraction of what they were the first time. In fact, half way through the first 3 years of your life would be so dull, you would just want to be older again. Just imagine how insanely boring it would be to have all of your memory of what you could do, but you trapped in the body of a 3 year old. You wouldn't be able to do anything at all.
If you redo whatever you did in your first life, you may end up never meeting your best friend. Chances are, you wont repeat exactly what you did the first time, and inevitably, it's going to change something important. For example, maybe you found out a different path to school was quicker than the one you took in your first life. But by doing that, you would never meet your good buddy and get to know him. You wouldn't be able to remember that far back in life to remember that until it's too late.
If you decide not playing a game you wasted hundreds of hours on in your first life, you risk making other mistakes that could have been avoided if you were doing what you did in your first life. Once again, this could lead to a life changing experience for the worse.
Even if you do fix mistakes that happened in your first life, that could lead to a life extremely different to the one you have now, and you'll miss all the good experiences that you had after that event. Plus, trying to keep memories of two lives would be really difficult. Youd keep messing things up because you were thinking of your past life. It just wouldnt work.
Ok I'm done
Yeah I have to admit while it would be fun, going back into the mind of a child and reliving everything with the knowledge I have now would put me in a peculiar situation. I might get home schooled and never meet any of my childhood friends while knowing everything about them. Now wouldn't that be a bit weird?
I guess I'd go back and relive my life whenever I'm done with this one. I'd prefer to finish my problems here than undo everything I've worked at.
I mean with this whole thing it's basically a re-roll. Everything will change the second you start to show a higher knowledge of anything when you're young.
Ew I just realized, you'll also get to relive with full awareness the moment you are forced out of your mothers vagina! Congradulations!
I'd predict the future of the world and become famous and make millions! Muahahaha!
Nah, but going through school again wouldn't be that hard. It'd be easy to skip grades considering you could ace every single test put in front of you (unless, ya know, procrastination kicks in), plus it'd allow you to change how you were looked upon as a young kid, potentially skewing your life in a better direction.
There's a bit of a time paradox to be considered here, technically at the first change you make your memories of your old life would cease to exist because after making that change, your previous life past that point never happened. So therefor your information is unreliable at best, nonexistant at worst (and most likely).
To change my life? No.
To see myself as I grew up. To notice every wacky idea I had or thing I thought because I created my own explanations for everything in my head? Sure would.
I would love if after I died I got to watch my whole life from start to finish. To see the story I created, and the changes I helped push along in the world.
I put hell naw, but that's because there is only ONE thing I would ever want to change in my life. If I could do over that one specific thing, I would.
No, but I'm not sure I would want to live any life at all. It all seems pretty pointless.

my life would probably birth - everyone is happy till im 7 and discover games and then for a whole 10 years i would just be sitting on my ass playing games
if i watched my self do everything in my life i would bore my self to back to life

This. I'll wait til the end of my life so that I know all about what was awesome and what I fucked up. Then I unfuck those fucks, leaving virtually only awesome.
I'd like to see again my entire life like a movie on fast foward, to see every big descisions I've made, to see all the mistakes I've made, to see how I reacted to everything. I wouldn't relive it again, but I'd like to see it.
Nah.
Better then the alternative.
Hmm
What if
What if
When you die
and your life "flashes before your eyes"
It doesn't actually flash
but it plays
and you are actually reliving your life over and over again?
in an endless
loop
I say fuck yes, I dropped out of school in 4th grade because I didn't have anyone to say 'NO BAD CAINAN', my childhood sucked because my parents but that could be avoided with my grandparents, they ended up raising me most of my life anyways. I'd finish school, I'd be in college now instead of JUST NOW fixing shit, I'd have better teeth because I wouldn't have lived alone with just my older brother for 4 years. I'd have it so much better, I don't give a fuck about the fun/good/whatever things I've experienced and won't enjoy again because I've already experienced because I'd have better ones. I fucked up so bad and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about suicide at least once, not consider it, but think about it. I don't plan on becoming another on the list of recent suicides. I will fix my life. But yea, I'd live it over again.
If I'm nearing death why not?
I plan to relive my life completely different from my current one so I'm definitely interested
