What moment would you like to relive before you die?

[Ivan Seeking]

I heard this and thought it was an interesting question.

I need to think about that one.

 

[Evo]

Can it be someone else's life?

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Can it be someone else's life?

That would be my choice!

 

[rootX]

My future moment involving my future family

I have thought about reliving someone's else life; problem is that everyone has deficiencies and I am willing to accept someone's else weaknesses more than mine. I believe I have shaped myself to something I am proud of and weaknesses are part of what I am.

 

[waht]

Birth.

I have one (perhaps another), but I can't describe it without risking an infraction. It was life-changing, though, and involved an older girl who was very close to me. Have you (guys) been "initiated" by some lady that you adored and worshiped when you were a kid?

Older cousins don't always play the same peer/age games that your class-mates do.

 

[drankin]

All of them, in sequential order. :)

Ah, Mrs Robinson.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, <clears throat> no comment.

I didn't see an "s" on the end of that word.

 

[turbo]

Ah, Mrs Robinson.

Much younger and cuter, and salivated-over by the neighborhood-boys when she stayed with us. A couple of years difference can be pretty impressive to a kid.

Doh!

So anyone who know's me knows I studied Jewish mysticism formally.
My answer is, after many years already in training, I accidently saw an indication of the direction in which to look to see nothing.
I jumped up and ran to the other side of the living room my heart pounding out of my chest. It was the single most frightening thing I had ever seen.

Second would be a time a dying patient looked at me with such love from some place I had never imagined, my knees went out from under me and I fell on the ground.

Third would be the first time I saw This Is It, MJ. I love him.

Thanks for making me recall some perplexing, cathartic, revealing, embarrassing, and also truly wonderful and uplifting moments in my life. Sometimes I think that the moments I would like to relive are 'eureka moments', or 'triumphal moments'. Then again, I have to think that the best moments are those times when I experienced a quiet connection with someone I trusted.

But I guess that the very best moment was when I first realized that I'm not important or special, that I'm part of something that I can't pretend to understand.

 

[lisab]

Giving birth to my daughter, I think. Maybe not the whole 28 hours!

I'd like to relive the moment in which I'm given time to decide which moment to relive. With proper recursion, I should be immortal (if not bored).

A particular sex encounter form my past.

I think you might prefer to be bored given that some folks think something involved a "sex encounter."

 

[wolram]

None, i was born old and world weary.

 

[mugaliens]

Oh! What moment would I like to relive before I die!

Out of sincere respect for someone who was perhaps the best friend I ever had, I will simply remember her for the wonderful person she was and probably always will be.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

The moment that I first became self-aware.

 

[Marco12]

I don't think it matters does it? I mean is not like reliving any moment would save you from the finality of life.

It would matter as much as any other moment.

Do you recall that ? How can you be aware of the moment in which you became aware of your self identity?

Said the man obsessed with a woman :P

I didn't say I remember it.

Question about the question:

Is the question about reliving this moment for the sake of reliving it? Or about reliving this moment for the sake of possibly changing it?

Presumably the former.

I stole the question from Piers Morgan. But this is GD, so it means whatever you think it means.

My interpretation was that he meant relive, not redo.

Spring 1980, I would turn left.

I haven't a clue as to when I "first" became self-aware. I have memories dating back to age 0. They're as real and surprising as the expression on my Mom's face when I describe the room in which my diaper was changed!

Life just is. I am perplexed when friends tell me they can't recall anything earlier than third grade. My son can't recall his years in Korea, yet he was the same age I was when I was in Italy, and I remember pretty dang well everything.

Perhaps it's time for another thread...

The time my best friend and I rode our bicycles to the town square to buy ice cream. This was during a semester abroad in Germany.
