Starting Over

[alli_boo]

How many times in your life have you wished you could start all over with a clean slate, with a new life?

"Create in me a clean hear, O God; and renew a right spirit within me." Psalm51:10​

​

What are your views on this?​

 

[Iron Sun 254]

Lots of times but I always realize that God has a plan for me and I'm just trying to do my best to follow it.

Yes, sometimes the road is paved with thorns, but he always manages to help us through.

Sometimes the road is paved with its fair share of thorns, but he always manages to help us through, and lead us to "greener pastures".

 

[Gracchus]

I start over every day. On a bad day I start over numerous times.

Starting over with thing some things would be nice, but there is more in my life I wish I could go back and completley delete it as if it never happened.
But I know all things happen for a reason, so reminding myself of that a lot seems to be some of a help.

 

[SarcasmDispenser]

I'd never want to "start over" with anything, it's more exciting in a one-time deal. Forgiveness is always a nice gesture, though.

 

[Isis-Astoroth]

Sometimes I wish I could erase certain past events from my life, but with all that I have learned, and how far I have come, I would never want to start again.

Yeah I see what your saying.

 

[Gracchus]

The good thing about making a mistake is that you have a chance to learn how to deal with the consequences. This is useful because we all make lots of mistakes.

Since we don't get it right very often, we don't learn much by getting things right, and it is difficult to learn how to deal with the consequences of getting it right.

 

[GreenDragon]

I never want to start over. If there was no bad, we wouldn't take joy in the good. Plus, no matter how hard you try, you can't go back, so wishing you could is kind of pointless

 

[Eudaimonist]

How many times in your life have you wished you could start all over with a clean slate, with a new life?

Never. I would make the same mistakes all over again. And if I were to retain my memories and character, it wouldn't really be a new life. It would only be turning back the clock.

No, I strive to improve myself, but not to erase anything.

There isnt anything that was so bad in your life that you wanted to start over? You have never felt like that/?

No, not really.

 

[alli_boo]

No, not really.

Ok, I guess it just depends on the person then....

You said it before I could, Eudaimonist. I feel the same way.
