Leaping through time....

I recently watched an interesting Japanese animation entitled "The Girl who leapt through time"....just as its title, the story is about a girl who suddenly acquired the ability to go back into the past. After she realised this ability of hers who allowed her to escape her death once, she used it to carry out a lot of silly things..... for example, to avoid situations that she is unable to handle... to avoid the mishaps that she had previously happened to her etc etc..... eventually, some unfortunate incidents happened and made her realised that how important it is to stop being avoidant and face up with the present.





Should there be a day where you suddenly acquired the ability to relive your past, what would you want to change?? This is not the first time that I had thought about this question. Surprisingly, despite all my frequent grumbles of "I should have done this", "I wished I did this instead", if I were given a chance to go back into the past, I don't think I want to change anything. I think i am rather happy with what I have achieve and what I have currently... my experience with life had been pretty satisfactory too...... but the most important part... isn't life itself about hope and the future??? There is really no point trying to relive the past.... hoping to change something in the past for it is the looking forward and hope for the future that makes life worth living........ leaping through time to the past .. isn't that akin to living a life of regrets... always desiring to make some changes to our past??? There are always happy moments and sad moments, good things that had happened and nasty things that had happened.... every experience is a process that makes us a little wiser and adds more unforgettable moments to our memories.... changing the past will not mean that everything will just go according to what we hope had happened.... still both good and bad experiences will befall us...... perhaps that is what that makes our lives exciting....... let's all look ahead to the future and bravely await all the exciting moments that may come!!!!!
