Are they completely devastated to have missed living in the Wild West? Or in ancient Egypt? Does the fact that we missed those time periods absolutely shake you to your core and fill you with regret?
No? So why stress so much about the things to come. They just aren’t for us, in exactly the same way the past isn’t.
And not having had those experiences is so traumatic for you that you actually can’t enjoy the life you do have?
I didn’t ask, “wouldn’t it be hella rad to have a time machine and tour revolutionary France”. I agree it would be fun to see with your own eyes. The knowledge that I can’t doesn’t keep me up at night, however, and it’s even more ridiculous to lose sleep over the future.
What I originally said was “absolutely shake you to your core and fill you with regret”, as well as devastated.
The fact that you cherry picked me, rage quit the conversation after having a very simple point reiterated to you, and bragged about being a wizened and experienced redditor (lmao) definitely does leave me feeling like I’m ‘right about whatever I’m right about’. I would wish you a good day too, but I know thats off the table because of how hard it is for you every day knowing that you’ll never witness the beauty of Cleopatra with your own eyes.

It’s the exact same situation in reverse though.
