I can look back at certain points in my life and acknowledge that they were perhaps poor or bad decisions. But if I could go back, would I change them? No, I would not. Too many folks have this strangely blinkered view that any decision they made in the past that resulted in a bad outcome must therefore result in a 'good' outcome if they could change it. That to me shows a lack of insight to how the universe works. Who is that say that if you changed a major decision in your past that it wouldn't lead to an even worse outcome? There is no way of knowing (although the Many-Worlds interpretation of Quantum Theory states that for every decisional point, two universes split off from each other, in which both outcomes exist). There's a very good sci-fi movie, called 'The Butterfly Effect', starring Ashton Kutcher, that looks at this premise. The main character discovers he has the ability to visit his own past. When he tries to right what he recalls as a bad event.....things get worse....and each time he tries to undo it.....the outcomes become progressively worse. If you do watch it, you would have to make sure you see the 'director's cut' with the original ending. The cinema version ending was considered by the studios to be too depressing and forced the director to shoot a new 'happy ending' where everything turns out just fine. Blah.
