Time Travel? Nah!

So sometimes I sit down and imagine, what if time travel was actually something real, Like, if I could just snap my fingers and just go back to a particular moment to fix a mistake or to redo something I felt I had messed up on, see honestly, it sounds very sweet when you first think about it , yeah .. Omo like.... Who no wan go back fix mistakes wey don pain them? You get? maybe you said something wrong, trusted the wrong person, entered a wrong relationship, or even failed an exam because you did not prepare well enough, If time travel was possible, all those things would just be like, just rewind and play again.

But if I am being honest here,then I don’t think it would be such a good thing in the long run, because Omo, life will not be balance like that, because imagine if everybody had the chance to just undo anything, there would be no real growth in anything, the way I see it, mistakes are not sweet, but they are the things that build us really, If I look back at some of the hardest things I went through, it was from those same mistakes I learnt better, Like the time I rushed into something without thinking well and later regretted it, If I had gone back in time and avoided it, I would have missed the lesson that shaped me today.

Let us just say someone fails an exam, If there's really something like time travel, they will just go back, write it again and pass, yes, they escape the shame of failure, but at the end of the day, did they actually learn to discipline themselves and study harder? No that one didn't happen, so when life throws another big challenge at them, they will want to run back in time again, see Life is not like that, abeg.

Now, if we really think about it, time travel itself comes with plenty ethical wahala, see Imagine someone deciding to go back to stop a war, or maybe even stop a certain person from being born, or imagine you had the chance to go back and win a lottery you missed out on , Omo... won’t that feel like cheating? People would use it to manipulate everything, and in the end, humanity will just scatter.

Another thing is relationships, Let’s say someone hurt you, and you go back to before you met them so you won’t cross paths again, at first it feels like peace of mind, but the truth is, that experience might have been what made you stronger in love or more careful with who you trust, sometimes we think if we erase pain, life will be perfect, but without pain, we for no sabi appreciate joy.

See ,don’t get me wrong, I am not saying I haven’t wished for a chance to change things, I mean If time travel existed, maybe I would go back and delay some decisions or think twice before trusting some people, but at the same time, I know that even though those choices pained me, they also shaped the way I see life today, and i don’t think I will be the same person if I hadn’t gone through them.

So for me, I feel time travel is not the best idea, yes, it might tempting, but it will spoil the natural balance of life, mistakes are part of our story, growth doesn't come from perfection, it comes from experience , both sweet and bitter, If we keep rewinding and erasing everything, we will never grow.

At the end of the day, abeg, I would rather live through my mistakes, cry when I need to cry, learn from the pain, and enjoy the joy that comes later, i mean time travel sounds fun for movies and anime, but for real life? Nah, let's just leave it as a fantasy.
