TIME
Everything happens for a reason, right? They say to put your past behind you, but some people disagree. They also say that one little thing can change the future. Are they right? Wrong? The past holds hidden mysteries. Every landmark in history is contained in the past. Some say they’re waiting to be uncovered. Changing the past can be a tricky thing to do for the things that follow can result like being selfish, breaking peace, and putting innocent lives in danger.

If the theory of time travel were accomplished, everyone would selfishly want to be a tester. If the technology were given to the people, the part will be full with “people from the future”. Even if there were a good cause, the past is hard to resist changing. It’s human nature to be jealous; the jealousy bug has bitten everybody. They’re jealous that other people are different and have “more”. Jealousy dulls your common sense and teases you to make you only think of yourself. People are selfish, they think that the past can make them a millionaire, but in the end they’re still the same person.

The US has alliances with many places. Those places have alliances with other places. Almost every place has an alliance. There’s peace between them. If that peace were broken, there would be chaos. The world as we know it would be gone. There are a few ways to break that peace; time travel is one of them. By breaking peace, you break the world and everyone in it. World peace is our goal; the alliances are a major step in succeeding in that goal. Why would this happen? Not all of us think about consequences. Consequences break peace.

Innocent people are hurt everyday. 9-11, The Holocaust, Pearl Harbor. Those people didn’t deserve to be hurt. Not only the people on the plane, or the people in the camp, or the people in Pearl Harbor were hurt, but the families too. They had a loved one get hurt. The past is tricky, you want to do the right thing, whatever that is… whether letting it slip by or stopping it. Most people don’t do well under pressure, but the pressure of the world is in changing the past. Maybe the correct thing to do is to let things stay as they are.

By not going back into the past, we can save more people than we would by changing time. Everything effects everything, so by changing one thing, you change many other things. The past isn’t a vacation or a store where you break it you buy it. The past is a fragile piece of the existence or nonexistence of everything. It needs to remain the same to reassure safety for new life to continue.
