Can't take any credit for this idea as I found it on another website. But wouldn't life make a lot more sense if we lived it backwards?

I mean, the most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. Life is tough. It takes a lot of your time. And what do you get at the end of it? Death. What is that, a bonus?

What if everything happened the other way round? You should die first. Get it out of the way. Then live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You party. You get ready for high school. You go to school and become a kid. You play. You have no responsibilities. You become a baby. You go into the womb. You spend your last nine months floating...you finish off as an orgasm.

I think it would be cool Smile Though it gives chance to some weird paradoxes, like, if you're a doctor but then won't go to college? Then again, in an article at a finnish science magazine about time traveling, the writer said that nature/history would protect itself. Like, you couldn't go back and prevent the World Wars or kill your own grandmother or anything, so maybe the same would apply here. Since it would be history, wouldn't it?

Also, you would really be a kid, if you wouldn't remember anything from being older, I think it would be REALLY cool! :)Smile

Hmmm...ending your life with an orgasm certainly sounds much more appealing than gasping your last breath for other less enjoyable reasons!

So I'm for it.

No fun being a kid if you have to carry around a load of baggage from adulthood!

Gradually your "adult" brain cells would die off.

You would also lose your taste for alcohol and develop this strange craving for orange squash. Dan would hate it! Smile
