Personally, I don't think I would do it for the reasons most of us would want to. That is, to go back and fix mistakes. I could only do it to view events and see how they really happened.
We all make mistakes and we all have immediate urges to go back and fix them (unless of course you have sociopathic tendencies). But I feel like mistakes are just life's way of teaching us lessons. If we went back in time and fixed our mistakes or stopped them from happening, we wouldn't have memories of the lessons learned or potentially learned.
Yesterday in church, the pastor gave us 5 life principles and I think they are something to go on. With time machines, these life principles become obsolete but then we will continue to make mistakes and continue to cross the time space continuum which seems to me like it will become redundant at some point.
The 5 life lessons are:
1) Mistakes are life's lessons
2) We don't make mistakes, we learn lessons
3) A small lesson not learned will soon become a big lesson
4) An unlearned lesson will be repeated until it is learned
5) The action you take determines if you've learned the lesson
I think if we lives by these and truly practiced them, we would learn to forgive ourselves for the mistakes we've made because of the blessing that comes with them.
~ Cause there's a blessing in every lesson ~
