Going back in the past

How would you feel if some one came and messed up something you have worked for? Not very good, am I right? If you were to go back in the past and do the same thing to someone, they would not be happy, either. So why do it? Don’t! Going back in the past to change something is a bad idea because, life would be to perfect, you can mess up the future, and you can mess up peoples lives.

Life. It’s not perfect. A lot of other things can be perfect, but not life. Life is not perfect because there are way to many things that can go wrong. If you broke your mom’s favorite earring, and you went back in time and stopped yourself from breaking it, you would go back in the future and your mom could get an infection from that same earring. You have to let things happen even if they are bad, but they can really help you out in the future. Things need to happen, so they don’t effect your future, either way, your life is not going to be perfect, even if you do fix the past.

By one little thing you can screw up the future. Why? Because if one thing happens that needs to happen and you prevent it from happening, things can go very wrong! That is very confusing, I know, but if you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. If you go back in time and change the past, you can make the future go wrong. If you got a bad grade on a test, and your parents got really mad at you because you didn’t study and you got grounded, you would be mad. You would probably go back in time and study, right? Well, then, you wouldn’t have learned to study before tests, and end up doing it again. So, you have just deleted a piece of knowledge you had learned from a mistake, and that’s never good. So, you can screw up the future in more ways than one so don’t change the past.

People’s lives are there’s, not yours. You should stay out of it and stop being a busy body, that’s what everyone says to do, and you should listen to them. So, lets say this guy was very sick with cancer, and he was suffering, he wanted to go because he didn’t want to be in pain at want to be in pain anymore. He got hit by a car and died. You saw it on the news, went back in time and saved him from the accident. But, now, he’s sitting at home, suffering from cancer, and he is going to die, anyway. You can mess up someone’s life by being helpful, so that’s why you stay out of other people’s lives.

Going back in the past, a bad idea, even if your trying to help. So, I hope you get what I’m trying to tell you because I think it’s important and I hope you now do to.
