Search Results: another chance

If you were given a chance to bring complete world peace (set aside your disbelief this is possible) but it would mean you were completely erased from existence, would you accept?

And by erased from existence, I don't mean die. I mean you don't and never did exist. There would be no afterlife as you were never born. So this isn't a sacrifice that you can gain anything from. You can't make up for any past actions or misdeeds with this noble act because you'll be complete utterly gone. Think of it as your soul, your being, your essence, the energy that makes you up being used in exchange for peace. Time would be redone so it isn't like you suddenly just disappeared. This would be you never were.

For those with children, your spouse/partner/whatever met someone else and the children were still born so no cosmic upset of reality is going to happen. Your parents had another child instead of you. There would be no other repercussions to the world beyond you no longer existing. (So no paradoxes or changes the fate of the world in some way.) And no, the other child instead of you isn't you reborn. No one would miss you or be sad or hurt or anything negative. You are completely POOF!

By complete peace, I mean total peace. No fighting, no war, no hunger, no poverty, etc. Everyone would have what the need to survive and be happy. True harmony, and a world that is perfect.

I have never gotten a second chance after a romantic screw up.

My screw ups were usually verbal. For example there was a girl I was having a fling with 2 years ago. She was cute af but her legs were a bit too briskly from not regularly shaving. I didn’t dare mention anything the first two times we hooked up. However before the third time I tried to tactfully ask her to smooth up a bit for our next hang out. She got pissed & that was the end of it. I tried apologizing a week later (despite her reaction being a bit over the top). She seemingly forgave me but we never met up again.

In my more serious and long term relationships I usually got axed for not communicating well enough over problems. Not saying women can be a unnecessary pain in ass at time. We all know that. But we have to hear them out whether we like it or not at times. However I had to learn a few hard lessons on that one. Still though I have never in my life had a girl follow up weeks or months later after she initially decided to cut it off saying she had second thoughts.

Anyway I personally believe women overall get more second chances than men for romantic screw ups. Especially in the western world. Even more especially if the man & woman are in “the same league”. Men are taught to endure more crap. Maybe sometimes it’s worth it to be patient but other times it’s pathetic (e. g. taking back a cheater). There are exceptions when women tolerate way more bs then they should if they are dating a guy way out of their league. Also some women sadly tolerate horrific abuse but stick around because they have some sort of sick twisted masochinistic pleasure from that bullshit (another topic). But overall they have less tolerance for screw ups as vice versa in my opinion

But in all the rom coms I (once in a blue moon) watched growing up there is a common storyline of the guy making a mistake but later getting a second chance and/or proving himself. But I rarely if ever see that happen in real life.
