Decisions, Decisions

My friends, let me ask you a question, a hypothetical circumstance. Would you trade all of your tomorrows, to go back and have a second chance. Would you willingly go back in time, and start your life all over again. Even if you have no memory, of the way your current life has been. Now let me throw another wrinkle, into this little query of mine. Let’s say you would not live past today, if you decide to go back in time. Now, would your choice of a second chance, cause you any regret or sorrow. What if you continue with this life, but get hit by a truck tomorrow.

Great point; great puzzler, Jerry. I instantly thought 'No, I'm never going back. Never!' (I've read the third act of 'Our Town,' by Thornton Wilder, too many times). Nicely done. ~ Gershon

Not sure I would either. I like everything just fine the way it is now. I think if I get hit by a bus tomorrow, I would die a happy man.

I don't think I would. It would be my luck that I would mess it up even more.
