Reply to comment by ONESNZER0S in [Image] You can't go back and change the beginning.. by amin9129

Why do people believe that if time travel were a reality, then going back in time could drastically alter the present? However, they believe that their actions today will have little impact on the future.

I see this as a slightly better illustration of the same point as the post's quote.

While I don't think of the quote as being "bullshit," I also don't question my past decisions. I feel like every bad decision I ever made was due to lack of foresight and perfect information, and consequently, I will perpetually make poor choices.

I find that true control is not worrying about the ending or the beginning... while also ignoring that shitty adage, "live every day like it's your last."

Because knowing consequences of the actions that seemed like a good idea in the past would allow you to avoid doing the mistakes that led you to the life you have now.

You not questioning your past decisions just shows that you were lucky and you have no major problems in life.
