let me ask you a question:

have you ever wished you could go back to when you were xx years old with all that you know now?

yes?

well... not me.

have you ever had to repeat a class that you understood everything, but my not have gotten a great grade? i think repeating life with "what we know now" would be like it. i think it would be incredibly boring. part of the excellence in life is the discovery of new things... while we could definitely discover things if we were to live life again with a cursory knowledge of events, we may be constantly trying so hard not to make a mistake that we'd fail to enjoy it the second time around.

or perhaps, we'd be so fast-tracked through life, being a six year old in college, because we're unable to enjoy kindergarten because it's so far below us, that we'd miss out on a lot of life experiences we would have had otherwise. life as a genius might be nice if you want climb intellectually, but it doesn't suit the majority of us who aren't intellectuals.

anywho, just thoughts.

would you go back with all you know now?
