When it comes to this topic on time traveling, I always like reserving my comments as to whether it can be possible or not because I believe that as long as we can think of it, it’s only a matter of time before it can become a reality. It only just takes a strong minded person to work towards it and see to its actualization. But it becomes a different topic of discussion when the reason behind such inventions is known. Time only began when man started existing and if for any reason we wish to temper with it, we should as well have it in our minds that we are only going to mess with ourselves (humanity).
Wishing for a time travel invention just so we can get the opportunity to go back in time to rewrite our wrongs is very selfish of anyone to think of. Yes, they mean no harm but such thoughts are dangerous because like I said, there is really nothing impossible as long as there is a will. And that’s why we just have to be extremely careful of the things we think of at every point in time. Maybe, just maybe creating a time travel machine will help us rewrite our mistakes, have you ever thought of the life of someone else that is going normally? Messing with time, messes with everything that it applies to and every human and everything else on earth are affected by time. So the moment you try to make things right for yourself, it is spoiling something else for someone else.
Trying to avoid ever making mistakes is just not how we humans are made to function. We are made in a way that we make choices and when we make these choices, we are to take full responsibility for it. When we make mistakes we are to accept it and try to do better. There is no human that is immune to mistakes. Even robots these days make mistakes and that could probably be because those that have created them are not perfect too.
Although, not every mistakes are what we should learn from and that is because some things might have happened due to our fears or our biased minds toward such things but then, the moment we see that not just one person made such a mistake, then it will be foolish of us to still go ahead and make that same mistake just because we think experience is the best teacher. It’s a privilege to be around people who have had some experiences because we have the opportunity to learn from them and avoid making similar mistakes. It’s more like they have made the sacrifices for us and it will be painful to them when they see us misuse that privilege. And that’s why we hear people say things like “if I had this opportunity you have today, I’m sure things would have been different”.
Time travel won’t stop us as humans from making mistakes. It will only give us room to make more mistakes even beyond what we think of right now. Making mistakes is fine as long as we accept them and learn from them. A lot of good things and good people that we hear of today is as a result of the mistakes that some people have made in the past. When we make a mistake twice then it can no longer be said to be a mistake. It is an excuse so I’m not talking about our repeat actions of the same thing that we call mistake. I’m referring to that just one and only mistake. Let’s not beat ourselves up when we make those mistakes as long as we haven’t been forewarned about it before. And then, we won’t be needing time travels. All our actions have consequences and we should also keep that in mind.
