Why it is better to not go to the past.


It is a common desire of most people to go back in time, the reasons varying from wanting to change something they did, meeting a loved one they didn’t get time for, or meeting an old idol.

Time travel attaches deep meaning to it, meaning as mentioned, varies. Having thought deeply about it, pondering and reading about it, I have come to understand why it has not been invented and why even it would be invented, we would not use it.
Past is supposed to be Past 
Time has in every decade and century taught us about how we are to improve as human beings. Every mistake we make, every trial and error we face, is part of the next generation that sees from and learns to become a better race.
If Napoleon had gone back in time and changed every mistake he made, we would not have had the example to learn from today. If someone went back in time and killed Hitler when he was massacring the Jews, we would not have the leadership we have now.
Every generation needs examples to learn from, they need to know how to be better humans and how worse things can get if not controlled.

People’s absence teaches

As much as we want to be with a person we knew in the past, we are parted for a purpose. It if taken well, it can help us respect the other relationships we have and also value what we learnt from the one we parted from.

Concluding time

Everything that happens, happens for a reason we know nothing about, but teaches us things we would never know otherwise.
It has always been like that, from the beginning of time and to this day it is still the same. It will still be the same till we die, we are thus required to be in today with complete devotion and not worry about going back.
