If you had the chance.

If you could live your life again, knowingly, would you? Or, would you like to go back to a certain point in your life and try again?
A different path the second time.
Whilst watching the film 17 Again, starring the squeaky clean Zach Efron, the question of reliving one's life is thrown up.
Would you want to? Would you go back and change your life? How would you change it? These are the questions addressed by this film.
All of us have regrets, it is normal to make mistakes as a human being and, if you have any character, you regret some of them.
There are always mistakes, such is the nature of life's journey, but would you want to correct them?
There have been a few films about this concept; Freaky Friday - two versions, Big (same concept in reverse), Vice Versa to name a few. In all of these films, the chief protagonist finds that their life has not gone the way they would have liked or expected and are given the chance to change or rectify it, usually by some strange Oriental person or a peculiar old person.
Unless your life is perfect, or you are of a real, true to life, go with the flow, accepting the ups and downs nature, you possibly have thought of the options you could have had, or the life you might have had.
It really depends on where your life is at the moment. At present I would not want my life any other way. My life decisions have brought me to this point, so, except for maybe having more money - I am sure I am not alone with that! - I would not change anything.
Life can be mean, even seemingly unbearable at times, but I think if you have enough faith and patience, you will get lucky and arrive at a good place.

Hey, I love this question. I do my best not to regret anything at all in life...I know each mishap, mistake, trauma and death is all part of my learning experience. I don't think I'd do any of it over again. I feel we come back again and take care of anything we haven't learned or taken care of in this life...but that's just me... Thanks for bringing up this question...as I keep thinking maybe I'd tell loved ones who passed more or listen more or hear more. That's about it but now I'm doing that with people who are still alive...so I learned! Thanks again
