Reverse

Here's a thought:

What if we could live our lives in reverse? From death to birth...from old to young...What if instead of doing things, we could undo them? Will life be any better or will we screw up then as well?

Would it be the same life lived in reverse? If that's the case logically if you undo things you would then go to a stage where it doesn't matter what you undo (a stage before the happening). If its a new life being lived in reverse, who decides what I start with? What about my memory and experience? Wouldn't it be horrible to wake up everyday realising you would be losing a part of you? The brain would revolt!! However yes, from a perspective of responsibilities perhaps I'll be moving towards a carefree state. But then its the same isn't it? You loose some and win some? I would prefer the life going this way - creation to destruction rather than the other way. Because while I may self destruct my creations may still keep me alive. Whereas if I'm born with a given set with no role to play and just undo I'll be bored. Doing things is more fun even if they are wrong then undoing them. That's how I'll learn.
