Time traveling is one of the greatest fantasies of man. I mean, who wouldn’t want to jump on that once in a lifetime opportunity; the opportunity to make so many wrongs right again without knowing the cost, the opportunity to correct so many bad decisions and actions that has affected so many lives negatively. The best thing any one with a conscience would want to do is to find a way to right their wrongs and set everything right, just as it should be…
Time traveling might look extremely easy, harmless and fun to many people. But then if you don’t mind, i would love to throw a quick question to you my dear audience; “do you know there are many risks involved in time traveling?, do you know when an act done in the past is changed, it affects both the present and the future?. I am sure some of you don’t know this, the exhilarating experience is what some people are just after…
The funniest thing about this whole time traveling act is that most people know there are risks involved, but because of the great experience attached to it, they choose to be nonchalant, which is very bad. Left to some people, they don’t mind traveling back in time over and over again to correct their acts, including the ones done intentionally and unintentionally. The truth is that when this gets too much, it becomes a problem in the real time (present), which might later alter what’s going to happen in the future…
If there’s any thing i have learnt and come to understand in all my years of watching the series “THE FLASH”, it’s the fact there is always a price to pay for every travel back in time (past). The more the travel back, the bigger the price to pay and the greater the damage done to the timeline. One of the problems Barry Allen faced while traveling in time multiple times was altering both the past and the future events, and regardless of everything, he still wasn’t able to save his mother from being murdered by “Eobard Thawne (reverse flash)” that night. The more he tried to save her, the more the damage he causes to the timeline. He had to give up at some point, and that was when he realized and understood the effect of him traveling back in time over and over again, especially to change his past. It caused more harm than good to the lives of the people he has sworn to protect. It was a life against millions of lives…
SAY NO TO TIME TRAVELING…
Regardless of the reason behind it, i don’t think it is a good thing for people to be able to travel back in time to undo some certain acts. I know some people might have genuine reasons to want to go back in time to undo them, but then what happens to those who don’t have any genuine reasons, have you ever taken a pause to think about what the effect of their actions would be in present time and in the future. More damage would be done to the present and the future if time traveling to past is allowed…
Everything happens for a reason, everything that happens in this life is predestined, it is what has been set by our maker before we were brought into this world, and that’s exactly why i don’t think being able to go back in time to undo mistakes and change choices will be a good thing for humanity. Some of the mistakes we make in the past are what makes us who we are today, especially to those of us who ended up becoming great as a result of what we thought was a mistake, and even to those who didn’t have it well as a result of their mistakes, it is what it is, everyone has to live with their mistakes and learn from them. That way they will always try to make better decisions and choices…
I know this might sound selfish of me, but then let’s not forget what’s at risk here, if everyone in the world chooses to go back in time to correct their mistakes and reverse some certain decisions, the world will go into ruins. Some mistakes end up becoming a blessing in disguise to some people while to the others it’s a scar they have to carry for the rest of their life. It is what it is, it will be totally wrong to alter the lives of millions of people for just one person. Such act is termed being selfish…
There won’t be growth in any way if mistakes were to be easily fixed. In this part of the world, abusing opportunities and privileges is our specialty, which is why i said it would be a bad choice…
In summary, a lot of things would go wrong if this was to happen. Although there might be some positive impacts, but the fact still remains that the negative impact would outweigh the positive impact, which is why it’s a No No…
I would say time traveling should not be a thing that should be made available, especially if it’s to alter the course of events…
