“Special Power”, what would it be, and why? ( Archived) (46)

Given the chance of a “Special Power” what would you choose a why?

Examples could be super human strength, super human speed, invisibility, time travel (forward and back), reading peoples’ minds, etc.


For me it would be time travel, I wish more than anything that I could go back in time to 21st October 2004 at about 08.30am. This would give about half an hour to take back a strategically placed sealed envelop, containing a letter I wrote in a moment of deep hurt, to a woman who really means more to me than life itself.

No one would have believed, myself included, how one single letter could cause such a tragedy to unfold.

Upon reading this, she made it known to me via a third party, that she never ever wanted to see me again.

Nearly two years have passed now, and there is rarely a single waking hour that passes when I don’t think about her and how happy I could have been.

It’s like being given a life sentence, but with no remission for good behaviour.

I just hope more than anything that she has found someone else to love and take care of her, as I would have done.

For me the 21st October 2004 was like the day they painted the moon black.

Those who act in haste repent at their leisure.

Be Warned!

I would like to go back in time because I like doing geneaology. I have had some arguments over past ancestors, especially from the female side. You know you are bored when you argue over past ancestors, lol. I have had disputes like there is no way she had that many kids, lol. I think it is funny now how I have argued with other surname family over past great, great, etc. grandmothers, lol.

Don't knock yourself out. Most often the what we imagine things might have been like are nothing at all like how they would have actually turned out in reality.

Give up fellow. Move on. It's water over the dame. Spilt milk. Spoiled meat. Let it go. Move forward.

There are no such things as time machines. Try playing with reality a little bit. Reality can be fun. Just got to look for new opportunities and try not to make the same stupid makes with those.

Hmmm I would like to be able to read minds, that way i know what you men are thinking! And if it's "I'd like a beer, and I'd like to see something naked" I'll shoot myself!

X-ray Vision ... ... *walks away*

Is there anything that blocks that?

well ... nope

Extra powers aren’t all they’re creaked up to be. The are confusing when your younger, sometimes very hard to deal with and control, even as a an adult.

They say knowing things is power trust me its not, it’s to often pain, confusion and above all disorientating.

Then the reality sets in, just because you know things does not mean you can change things or make them better and trying can even make them worse. In the end your choice is to live with the knowledge and leave the outcome to fait and that decision is a painful one but it is in the end the only way to live. That and block as many of the thoughts you can and ignore the rest.

Damn! Well then look all you want!
