Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

QUESTION OF THE WEEK - 01-10-2022
Would you rather live for a week in the past or the future?
Interesting question. If I lived a week in my past I might do something that would alter my present, but living a week in my future would impact all decisions I made in my present. It is a catch 22 sort of situation. Now if I could just go back and observe, that is a totally different circumstance and I would do it in a minute.
If I went to the past there's a chance I might accidentally change the future, so when I got back things might be different, or wrong. So I'd choose the future and if I can see anything markedly wrong, perhaps I could do things differently when I got back to my time so the bad doesn't happen.
The past for sure.
ReplyDeleteIn the past and with my mother.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week. ♥

ReplyDeleteI am with Anne. I would happily go back and watch. I don't think I want to know what is ahead of me/us.
ReplyDeleteI would want to go back if I could change some of my own actions but the future would be fun if only to know there is one.
ReplyDeleteI would go back for one specific week in my past to make amends.
ReplyDeleteBack in time would be fun, forward would be a bit scary.
ReplyDeletePast, maybe.
ReplyDeleteThe future is where you'll spend the rest of your life, it might be nice to go get a bit of a preview.

ReplyDeleteIf I chose a week in the past it might be one so perfect that I would probably be kicking and screaming to stay there... And yet...
ReplyDeleteGo back for sure :)
