What if Life could be lived again .. differently..!

How different can you imagine it to be ? some changes here and there, a decision gone bad .. change.. married the wrong girl .. change .. took the wrong career decision... change.. and so on ..
But what if the changes you make .. on reflection seem to be worse than the original decisions. Because Life is a zero sum problem, if you win someone else has to lose and to be stable it will try its best to nullify the change you sought to make. Now .. supposing theres an element of truth to the above, don't you think that any change you make.. you will never be sure of its outcome, because the moment a change is made, there are changes made elsewhere and the scenario we thought about would never come.
But that's all me..

So Mr. critic, you ask me , what do you have in mind ...? Do you at all have a way life could be lived again if not the way we want to ?

Well, I have thought about it .. and thought about it again .. and decided ... I would like to live my life backwards..

Backwards ..? well by backwards I mean really backwards .. Say we were to start our life from Death. By starting out with death, we would get it out of the way, no more fear of dying with every passing day. Todays scene shows a trend towards shoving our beloved oldies out of the home to an old age home. But I'll take the case of a typical Indian family where the aged is the one most respected. But a thing to note here is that beyond a age a person is mostly ignored, left to himself and has probably no company except his grandchildren. from death we would leap directly to this phase.. imagine starting off your life with your grandkids as admirers and with every passing day feeling healthier and healthier. With every passing year getting more and more respect in the house and begining to have a say in everything. The best part is that you either have a lot of money already in your bank, or you have your pension. Then you reach your prime, where you are the most respected person in the house, everything is done according to your wishes and bored at home you are ready to join a company. On the first day of your job, everyone in the job gives you a standing ovation, has a party in your name and are given a gold watch (say). You work for say 40 years and with every passing year the responsibilities on your shoulders decreasing steadily. At the end of your 40 years of hard work, its finally time to enjoy your retirement. You cna drink alcohol, party all night and at your age even flirt with the young hotties at the bar or the college canteen. Now its finally time to join school. you go through school, reach primary school you become a kid, you play whole days , you have no responsibilities. You become a baby, and then.......... you spend the last 9 months floating peacefully in luxury, in spa-like conditions; central heating, room service on tap, larger quarters every day, and then,finally, you finish off as an orgasm.
Beat that...!!

Can you think of a better life to relive .. than this .. I sure cannot ..!!
