Well i thought of this thread after i did something wrong. Now i think if i could have a backspace key in my life, so that i can erase my faults and foolish things i have done before in my life. Which almost ruined me.
If anyone wants to share his/her mistakes they have made and wants to erase it please go ahead and start posting.

Erasing your mistakes is not the right decision. If you remove certain event from your life that had bad impact on you, what would you do the next time it happens? You wouldn't remember it and will go down the same wrong way. What if you forget the girl that broke your heart? You will fall in love again and later you'll suffer... again. Bad decisions makes us people. Some people are more perfect than others and would not fall for the same mistakes the others did. But when we walk through some even destructive path, we will surely be taught something from it. Don't regret for what you did, regret for what you haven't learnt.

Backspace key for life is a bad idea.

Not my words, but I read it on Facebook some time ago. Yeah, FB can be profound obviously.

backspace key? No, I'd need to fromat it all, but first I'd have a backup of all mistakes on an external drive, like a big tutorial on what I should or shouldn't do, otherwise even formatting be useless: without experience I'd end up doing things the same way..

Lately I've come to think that maybe many decisions weren't really wrong, maybe they just turned out wrong, and if we could go back and do somethig else, things may end up wrong anyway, or even worse.
If you choose a different path, not only will you arrive to a different destination (maybe), but you'll also meet different things along the way.

This doesn't mean I wouldn't change a few things if I could: if I had a chance to go back time I'd do it (unless my irrational self comes out with some stupid reason to prevent me, it often does this kind of annoying things - but that's another story)

What about erasing some of the bad and dead memories of your past life. Some of them haunts me when i think about it.

Human's brain has this amazing ability to forget nightmares and bad stuff. If something is really that horrible you will either forget it or either turn crazy. You seem fine to me...

Maybe i am strong enough to keep it cool. You can get that from my signature.

Maybe there are some people who can't cope up with such disaster that has happened in his/her live.

Maybe

A lot of bad stuff...but I'll admit I wish I could erase the medical issues I've dealt with for the past 16 years...

Generally I'd say erasing memories is a bad idea, because in the end you will learn from it, and develop into a bad person. But there are one or maybe two events in my life that I would really wish to delete. Not so much as for my own sake but it'd be nice for everyone else had it never happened.

Controversial topic. I think so.

No,as long as you don't use the backspace

I also think that life's nice when you're having your (also bad ones) memories fetched to your brain however they might not seem so comfortable to you and after all we learn from our mistakes and that's why we tend not to make double faults

OMG! If we did use the backspace key in life we would upset everything in the present and most certainly create many paradoxes. One here may use it for his/her life and in turn affect someone else's life.

This would be a bad idea all around. I don't believe in going back anyways since things might be made better at a certain instant but then my life might be totally different now and I do not want to know what it would have been like really. It would not necessarily help me and how often could I use the backspace key and if only once which instance would I use it? Also if I were to use it simply to go back and start my life over from a certain age would I really want to relive everything over again based on changing one or more things at that time or along the way. Forget it! I wouldn't do it! I am happy with the life I have.

The Watergate scandal, BP's epic fail of an oil spill, Hitler being born...so many things could have been corrected, but alas, we are no masters of time...hey, I feel a song coming on! How does "Hyperbolic Time Chamber" sound? I am SO writing this and posting this somewhere! Deciding a tune, writing the guitar and keyboard parts, writing the lyrics...I'm only adding to the list of songs I still have to write the instruments to... Such is the life of a one-woman band.

God would definitely have backspaced the creation of man

^

I'll have to agree with Mr. Vlad.

Yes but He would never use it on woman

That's because God made woman out of man's rib. Backspacing man will inevitably mean woman never even was created

Interesting to see that not only you all assume a god exists, but are also convinced it is male.

But on topic of this thread: I seriously doubt that backspacing one's life would create anything but chaos. For one, I believe we leran from our mistakes and if we backspaced the things we did wrong we would make other mistakes in their oplace. Also, our lives are intertwines with so many other's and we'd probably not only screw up ourselves, but these people as well.

I personally would not want to backspace anything. Not that I have not made any mistakes, quite the contrary, but they, too have made me the person I am today. There are times when I wish I had not hurt the people I love, but I have learned from these experiences and so have they and whatever it was good for, it has made us who we are and formed our lives. Taking away any of this, would make me less real somehow.

And some more food for though: If we erased all the bad memories, how would we even know that the good ones are really good? Would we not eventually have to erase everything, because our opinions of what's good and bad are largely formed by the contrast between those too and if all the really bad things are gone, the slightly bad stuff becomes worse in contrast and after taht is gone, the minor annoying thinge become the worst and so on until there is nothing left.

Then after backspacing and deleting Man God would go forward and actually create Woman first. After all that would be the most logical thing to do!

@redbossfan

Yep totally agree with you!

About God existing, well I was working off Vlad's post

Backspacing would be nice sometimes. But the good thing about doing mistakes is learning of them.

I would have changed so many things. Sometimes it feels like everything that could go wrong went wrong. But it's ok. Life isn't always good or fair. Would be weird if it was

But if life were fair and that's all you knew then it wouldn't be weird.

Forget the backspace... <.< >.> go with the home key... who wouldnt want to be able to teleport to home? ....note to self: avoid the end key

Sorry, that's my second account and I was drunk when I wrote it. *cough*

Alphawolf > Alphahero

Agreed...




Well, in some languages there's no difference in pronouns for masculine and feminine. like Persian, for instance(Gender Equality ). but in (I'm not sure) most of European languages and also Arabic they're separated. and religious people couldn't make a pronoun for God. (Combination of He and She=> Che or Khe ) So they called him (or her) as a He. and it's common in all religions, I guess...

And about the backspace key... Nothing good would happen. We would do more mistakes. and more backspaces and again more mistakes. I wish I'd never been born.

O.o now the question is it a split personality... or a clone.... hmmmm or i could be someone else completely xD but seriously im not you... i think o.o... and your math is off...

the correct statement is Alphawolf >= Alphahero

If we never experienced the consequences of our decisions, we wouldn't be able to make difference between right and wrong, and we could never improve ourselves by consciously choosing the right choices.

Sorry for interrupting...

Lone Poet!! You're alive man!! I'm glad to see you here again.

Hahah, yeah, I'm alive, like Frankenstein's monster!

It feels so good to have such a warm welcome here!
