The present sounds fine too.

There has been times like this, a question runs through my mind thoroughly- As if I wouldn't be able to shake it off before I let myself sleep. And that in ways I can't even comprehend, links are form among the most random of subjects, events,music even. Part of me loves the thought process that happens within the time period, but the other half thinks I would be left better otherwise.

I was in the midst of watching The Time Traveler's Wife, and as Henry travels back and forth, my mind make up tricks in my head, like a form of virtual equation to answer the How,Why, and What of it all. And at that exact moment,...

I time traveled.

Fine, I didn't. but it reminded me of a question that was asked between myself, Nabil, and Ikhmal when we were sitting at the table in Ben's the other day for lunch( Food was OK, service was so-so, the setting was mehh, price pretty reasonable). They had this stack for cards on the table with question on each one of it, so we all took turns to pick one. After a countless of really odd ones,

Would you rather travel to the past or the future?

First thing first, to set things straight, before I answered, I know that without any supernatural forces, it is and will still be impossible to time travel, even in a million years. I am not much of a geek when it comes to Astrophysics, but I don't really buy the whole ''universe folded into two,space and time come together, form black hole,and the possibility to time travel"- although this video makes for a pretty interesting way to explain it. Hey, i wouldn't mind to be proven wrong, but I have a feeling by the time (if) it does happen, we'll all most likely be a pile of mush six feet under.

HEY, BETTER BE A PILE OF MUSH IN THE GROUND THAN SCATTERED IN SPACE TRYING TO SQUEEZE THROUGH THAT TINY, TINY HOLE, HUH?

But let's just say it is plausible, it is actually a fairly difficult question to answer.Think of it this way, you could either go to the future or back to the past, but the one rule you know can never change is the fact of the matter that you cannot change ANYTHING, no other consequences from different actions, no butterfly effect-that would make this all too complicated, and you have to consult Karin on that. just plain observation. With that reason, I didn't choose the future. Sure, one could go, " Ohh, I would like to know if I get my dream house,dream car, who I get married to, how many kids I'm going to have, etc". But you see, these are all the type of questions one would normally say/ask in the circumstances that there is a chance for them to correct their mistakes which would lead them to a better future. But that's not the case here.

All will be dandy and fine, until you find out something in the future which isn't so bright, and magical, that upsets or disappoints you, and worse, the fact that you can't change the course of which it would end up happening anyways. I would personally find it torturing to know a secret, let alone keep it from someone dear to me, and let's not even talk about knowing something bad that is going to happen to someone else, but not being able to tell them.

Or, what if I traveled into the future and the only thing I see is darkness? Does that mean I'm dead, or just stuck in a room which coincidentally has no windows or doors? Then, what happens?Because everyone knows, as far as even a theory might go to the lengths of explaining the plausibility of time travelling, none has gone to the distance whereby they mention Apolcalypse or the state after. With all that in mind, that's why I thought the future wouldn't be much of a hype if I've seen a prelude. It's like, watching a epic trailer of a movie which turns out to be less than what you've expected it to become. Paham tak?

Now, the past. Basically, the only fact why I chose this compared to the latter was on a basis that, if I do go back, I can tell my younger self that I've LIVED and EXPERIENCED the reality of what is to come. And that I survived. I might not want to tell my younger self that something is going to happen in the years to come, or even at a specific date & time, because that would defeat the purpose of not wanting to live life in a constant state of worrying,right?

I know I can't use the past to change something for the better, but at least I get to observe. and learn from my mistakes which sometimes, people tend to forget as life moves on. You learn from the past, and you form a better future. Nothing is set in stone and you make your own destiny kind of crap, ya know?

But hey, This is my opinion. What do you think?

With that, I shall sleep. The questions have stopped running in my head for now. And scientists say it's no good to be near technology an hour before you sleep. #epicfail

By the way, Happy July everyone :)
