Yeah but I can't brain-damage myself enough into full retrograde amnesia to forget my whole life and the regrets that I've piled up, even though I did brain-damage myself enough to be dumber and less capable than I was before, so it can be twice as hard for me to do something good with my life now. Otherwise, a good thought.


Prudent_Lawfulness87

There’s no do overs, mate. Even if you get amnesia or on purpose brain damage bc you still live in a group with the mental capacity of a.. WOW! I can’t even find a living organism to compare our behaviors with.


Tastydr0p

Hahhah yea there are no do overs for sure. There are only overdo's and oversights. And realising you're as stupid as the other folks, but in a different way.


Prudent_Lawfulness87

I remind myself all the time that I’m as immature as most of. And that’s a lot of us.


Tastydr0p

Yeah most people I know are, just not everyone realizes it to the full extent of its meaning.


SonderDeez

Then you don’t want it enough! The OP is making a really good point.


ASharpYoungMan

OP is talking about second chances. Resets. Do-overs. That's not something you get *just by wanting it.* Are you in debt? Gonna have to figure out a debt consolidation plan or file for bankruptcy. Or get lucky. No amount of "wanting it enough" will suddenly set you back to square 1 if you're on square -100,000. You have to work for it. Which isn't a mulligan. It's dealing with the shit on your plate.


Tastydr0p

Yeah, exactly. Good things come but you can't hold on to them if all you have is the mere desire for things to be better. All long-lasting changes in life are achieved through careful planning and persistence, which has nothing to do with the initial kick of motivation you get when you decide you want to change. That's why people are mocking OP with Eminem, who obviously had the spine behind his drive for success, and his song applies if you have it as well. Otherwise, it's just children's dreams and thoughts in the dark.


chronically_snizzed

If you had one shot. Or one oppurtunity. To seize everything you ever wanted... would you capture it, or just let it slip?


Formulafan4life

Is that … Eminem?


chronically_snizzed

Haha this guys sat in a vasement vefore

Here’s the bit: I don’t know, nobody knows, what I want. Could I just want to….be?


chronically_snizzed

Yeah. Get set. Do, be


[deleted]

if you go back in time or reincarnated or restart your life without knowing your current state then your life will turn out to be the same as now


Triggered_Llama

This assumes the world to be deterministic. If it turned out to be deterministic then what you say would be true.


ASharpYoungMan

Not necessarily. Reincarnating would set different starting conditions, meaning it would be foolish to expect the same outcome. Hard to make the same choices when the choices you get to make are different.


RaleighlovesMako6523

How can you fix shit in the past especially you got Alzheimer disease? 🙉 ridiculous .. You basically just need to say : live for the moment and the present as it is the only way to live ..


Over-Pea-7873

You can't fix shit in the past, and op said nothing about diagnosed Alzheimer's. Also there are different kinds of dementia, even pseudo dementia stemming from depression.


supdupDawg

I think the thought would have been deep if u had not put the condition of forgetting


chronically_snizzed

Moms spagetti?


Thediamondinthecoat

Lol


Alarmed_Painter7585

Yes but what other conditions wouldve been put on that to result in me not remembering anything rn, also it wouldve given me an edge over everyone and that wouldve been unfairz


agitatedprisoner

If you really started over without any memory you'd just make all the same mistakes over again. You've got to keep your memory or you don't learn. What you've got to do is allow for other people to learn. If you treat people as though they don't learn then it's you that's keeping them from starting over.


stonedmunkie

The is real life, no respawn. There is only one chance. Glad you had your first deep though.


ReignofGuildsVideos

I was reading some William Marx material, and in it, he said that he spoke to a shaman, that said that the reason reincarnation exists is due to there being machinations in our design, that even if we lost everything, we're bound to ethereal intervals, that return us to who we we are.


StackOwOFlow

I tried but then got mom's spaghetti everywhere


wes_bestern

And erase a perfectly good object lesson? "This is why you always leave a note!" Or on my case: *this is why you dont fuck around with the occult* It's like a scripture my dad's mom used to share with me: >Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them; for I, the Lord thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me --Deuteronomy 5:9 How bout saving the next generation the headache of having to replay the same story? It's like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. They think that they'll be better off having forgotten an extremely painful event, only to have fate rework its tragic magic. ....but idk. A "great reset" or whatever might be good?


unit156

Good deep thought! I love playing this game with myself. I always win 😊


__not__sure___

what if we actually get to try again though? maybe with slightly better respawn. maybe ill wait for that


Alarmed_Painter7585

I am __not__sure___

You're alarmed painter. He's not sure.

GloomyAmoeba6872

Thank you; I needed to hear this. It's a great grounding thought when you apply it in context.


rubrent

There’s an old saying says something like, “the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”…..


crown_of_fish

To begin with, I wouldn't get caught up in drugs and alcohol, and I'd get a job. Beyond that, I don't really care.


bornmartyr

Most people would love to have a second chance in life, but their environment and past actions won't let them.


Immortan_Joe-mama

What I really want in life is sex and drugs. So, should I blow all my equity on that?


Numpty712

Wait’ll you find out that THIS is heaven


CubooKing

>He agrees but on one condition, you will forget everything that happened. Will you do it?  Lmao of course not why the fuck would I want to forget my life?

LordLuscius

Go back to school? I starve and am homeless. Try to bring about revolution? I starve and am homeless. Start a business? I starve and am homeless. I need backing. So I... guess... seek backing between survival work... huh... actually you have a point. Wait for my next manic episode and I'm so on that shit


No_One_1617

To this question the answer is that there is no point in living again without knowledge

BeaMiaVA

Every single day, is an opportunity to start over. Most people are trapped and victims of their minds.


Decent_Sympathy_2185

If I forgot everything then everything would just end up the same way before I got the second chance. It would basically be an unchanged loop.


Such--Balance

Regrat nothing!


chronically_snizzed

Cause he knows its vack ro the mobile home


walker5953

I mean if I went to a creator and they offered me a second chance I’d say you better be you fucking dick head giving me cancer at 23. I think you owe me that much.


ir_blues

Sorry but that sounds like you are 14, what a nonsense.


sbgoofus

I'm waiting.. where is it? at least give me a link or something


Alarmed_Painter7585
