I Have Random Thoughts

If you were born again, would you live your life the same way?

I would choose a different life if I were given the chance to live again. I would not go to university. Instead, I would learn practical things: how to grow vegetables, how to build a house, how to be a plumber and electrician.

I feel I have wasted too much time in intellectual games.

It's not too late. You can do those things when you retire. And I'd be there eating the vegetables you grow and living in the house you build. 😂

@novembermoon I wonder in which physical condition I will be when I retire. And where will I get the knowledge to do it?

Knowledge is in knowing when to plant potatoes not what Heidegger wrote.

@SW-User True

I see your point. My friend, who is a painter but also went to university to study accounting, has told me that it gives you great satisfaction to look at something you have done with your own hands. Like painting the facade of a building.

@Cierzo He should be where his name is engraved among all the other builders and workers in the new terminal at Heathrow airport.

@Mugin16 Why the hell do we need so many terminals and huge airports?

@Cierzo People love to travel. Airlines want to grow. Airports want to expand.

I wish I had spent some time in my teenage years on developing stronger mental health, more friendship, learning how to get along with people including bad people, learning to be relaxed towards other people's opinions.

You could learn those things and going to university at the same time. But I know what you mean. I regret choosing the university that I chose. For many reasons.

There are many things I would do differently sure. Some things would remain the same
