Would you?

I have watched a Movie lately, and the main Actor was living in a lie for 9 years, with a Wife, Job and Friends
and suddenly he figured out that he wasn't himself for the past 9 years!, due to a brainwashing process, but some memories were stuck in his mind, and were shown to him every single night, So he started his journey to look for his past and live it again.

The Question is
If you wake up one day, without having a clue who you are, WOULD YOU like to know your past and go back to it, or you will choose to live it like a new LIFE, new family, new everything? and WHY?

jade03, If I cannot remember or recall the past, or if my past ceases to exist, then I am not me.

I am me because of my consciousness that is linked to the past and present.

- What are you doing? I'm WATCHING a movie.

- Have you SEEN that movie already?

If watching a movie is something you do intentionally, why would it change from "watch" to "see"

I believe we use it (see) idiomatically when we say "Let's see a movie this weekend." or

"Have you seen the play, Lez Miserables?".

Finally "to watch" denotes present tense

and have you seen denotes past tense in the way you phrased the question

But in all the cases thanks for the information.

New Life. There's no guarantee that choosing your past will make you happy.

KR the past might be perished and irrevocable, you will not know where it is and will end up digging graves to find bones which cannot be live. Recall my words of science, world revolves only in one direction.

Which past you mean? The recent one of last 10-20-40 yrs or from the eternities the soul traversed, in cosmic consciousness, in hundreds, thousands, even millions of years?

Past is vast, you know :)

My conscience won't permit me to have a new life...most of us have dependents and loved ones. Having a new life would not be fair to the people who look up to you.

Steve Wozniak... the man who created Apple.... (most people dont know him.. but know only Steve Jobs) had lost his memory after a plane crash... and he couldnt remember a thing.

but he used his logic to bring it all back...

Interesting answers, thanks all

Rizks ,, U Greedy :)

For me, I would like to know my past, but i will be choosy again to select, there is people i can't leave, but the fact is, even if you didn't know our past, our names, we will remain US, and we might choose the same choices that we took in the past.

But for sure i will give the new future a big part of me, no need to waste the energy of a past that Gone.

I would like to chose the NEW LIFE with NEW FAMILY.

It could be possible that many unwanted stories or incidents lies in the PAST which might hurt me and my PRESENT LIFE..so better avoid the PAST and live in the PRESENT...

Definitely not to go back, it is absolutely wrong to go back leaving the present with commitments and responsibilities with whom you share and are there with you.

The things left are left and no one will stop waiting for you, time passes away, things change. The world has only one motion since its creation and will never revolve backwards. Life goes ahead you either carry on or make a new change including the present.

Workout with the wisdom and intelligence we got from the creator, don't act out unnatural by saying emotional stories.

There are no chanakyas or mughals ever remaining as rulers of india, they have vanished.

If i wake up without having a clue who I am, i would start a new life and hope the banks from which i have taken loans will forget the loans too....lol

and after the banks have closed my case due to my long time memory loss i would go back to my old lifestyle then....:)

ofcors, I would like to know and go back to my past.. doesn't matter if it's good or bad. Because I don't want to leave the people I love behind, I don't want to abandon them just like that (my family, friends or that special someone).. \m/^_\\
