All of my life is a sequence of connected events that leads me to where and who I am today.
I could make changes to my past that would let me walk away from bad things that appened, but then I'd miss out on a load of good things.
If I told myself not to get back together with the cheating GF to "give it another try", i'd be spared the pain of my divorce 15 years later, but I'd also be spared the joy of my daughter.
If I told myself to stay in London when I finished my degree, instead of moving back to my hometown, I'd have earned more money, but not met my current wife.
Many sorrows to be avoided.
Many joys to miss out on by accident.

Overhead, the Albatross hangs motionless upon the air,
And deep beneath the rolling waves,
In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
And everthing is Green and Submarine
