I've spent the last two weeks thinking of this. I am curious to hear what Malek says.

'to know that you can do better next time, unrecognizably better, and that there is no next time, and that it is a blessing there is not, there is a thought to be going on with.'

i think i got that slightly wrong, but it's from malone dies, and uh...it's good isn't it

doesn't matter . . .
I'd just make the same mistakes again.

Do we get to come back with previous knowledge? Because if not I would probably just come back as a creepy friendless fuck who can't spell once again. :'(

Actually even with previous knowledge I would still fail. :'(

Let's say you retained important previous knowledge, but you do not solidly KNOW said knowledge. When it comes to you, it comes to you as something like a gut feeling or an intuition.

recursivelyenumerable · « **Reply #8 on:** March 28, 2009, 10:27:21 PM »

Does it have to be a painful death?

I would probably resolve to do everything differently and better, then end up doing everything the same (or even worse). That's what's always happened whenever I've gotten second (third, fourth ...) chances within this life, so I don't know why a whole second life would be any different.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #9 on:** March 28, 2009, 10:28:09 PM »

Whiteman, are important events exactly the same? otherwise I don't think the life lessons would matter.

I have actually thought a lot about this of late. I've thought about all the things I'd do differently if only I had the chance. I'd love to redo just this year of law school. Do it over again: actually attend classes, actually talk in class, actually talk to Flannel Girl. But, knowing myself, I'd just do things the exact same way.

Even if I can't relive the past, I can change how I act in the future, right?

Not likely.
