Taking it further
I sometimes wish I could have another go at life, but knowing what I know now, but I'm not sure I'd do any better the second time around. I've got a nasty suspicion that I'd be much more selfish second time around.
Just to open this up a bit: with all my faults and imperfections (no, really!), I wouldn't want to swap places with anyone. Has anyone else come to the realisation that the ego is so strong that you think you're better off as you than anyone else? It seems fairly clear with most people's wishes - enough money not to worry and a few goodies perhaps, that we're all pretty close to happiness.
Does this make any sense?
