To the Future
If I had the ability or the opportunity to travel to the future using time travel and saw that my future had a bad ending in terms of how people would remember me when I leave the world, and there was a means to change that after returning to the present, would I work towards changing it?
First of all, as we all know, time travel has been a trending concept we have seen in movies, and it often looks so real and almost believable, as if it already exists, whereas in reality, it does not. I feel like the future is something that has already been created, and we are merely living towards what has been designed for us. Because of this, I do not think it is possible to change the future after seeing the outcome. However, peradventure it is changeable, then yes, I would work towards changing the future so that I would be remembered for good when I finally leave the earth.
I would start by amending my ways of dealing with people and also my attitude towards money. I would give more and withhold less, no matter how tough life becomes. I would consciously try to live better and make positive impacts, knowing that my actions could influence how my story eventually ends.
But if, after seeing the future, I realize that I cannot change anything at all, I would not be bothered either. I would continue living the way I have always lived, without any extra intention of trying to please others or putting my life into depression because of people’s opinions or future judgments.
Like I said, I would not feel regretful at all. It would have been worse for me if I travelled to the future and saw that my life would become very miserable at the end. But since I would have lived well and my only issue would be not being recognized by people as a good person after I am gone, I would not be bothered. When we leave this earth, I do not think anything that concerns earthly matters still holds relevance, unless there is a reward in heaven for people who lived to be loved and remembered fondly by others while they were alive.
