I'd take my chances on rewinding to change some history ... if only to allow me to recognize abuse and escape it long before it did permanent, long-term damage. If kids from my childhood had been taught some of the things we teach them today - and if people back then hadn't been so anxious about not getting involved, there would have been one more monster put away where he couldn't have hurt anyone ever again.
Sorry, Dawg ... but you asked!

That’s okay! Good answer!

No rewind - mistakes/misadventures have made me the person I am today, and I am happy with that. Perhaps a pause because time is moving too rapidly and realistically my 'time remaining' is somewhat limited.

 

[sourland]

What, no fast forward!

Seriously? You need to think about that.

Everything has the back-pause-fast forward option, tape deck, TV remote, CD player etc. We can't just leave it out.

Fast forward only for a look-see, a sneak peek. Like reading the ending in the book before you finish it.

I doubt that you get to rewind if you fast forward past 'The End'.

If one gets a sneak peek of the future which is yet to come, one might make decision based on what one has seen, but the future view is not absolute because it is depending on the decisions of many around it, so it is constantly changing.

I don't think I'd like to look into the future.

How about... Pause at the end of the day to reflect on what you saw/did/said/felt/wanted. Was it worth it? How can you do better tomorrow? Is there something you realized you're missing/missing out on, so you can add it to your life? Is there something to let go of, to make more room/time in your day for other experiences/people?

I pause when I am stress out or the situation is very stressful. I stop thinking about it for a day or less like you said Sally PB to reflect and I find that it is very beneficial. Get out of the zone, see from the outside looking in kind of thing and more detach.
