View Full Version : What if life was the other way around

Life... reversed. I'd sign up immediately!

Look, life is hard, it costs you your life and what do you get in the end? Death. That's why I think life should be reversed. Sorta like this:

First, you die. Then you've got that out of the way. After death you will spend a couple of years in an Old Folk's Home. Playing bingo and cards, you know how it goes. Gradually, you start to see and hear more, and you're even growing some (colored) hair! Even your wife is looking more attractive every day, which has consequences for certain (sexual) feelings you've never felt before. People take good care of you untill you're eventually thrown out because you're too young.

After that, your boss gives you a gold watch, and you start working. You start of lightly with lots of free days, and the more years you work, the less stress you'll get. Your sexual feelings are reaching new heights because your wife is looking even more godess-like by the day.

After about 35 years of work you're young enough to just party around. No need to think about future plans, you just try out alcohol and drugs, because in 25 years it'll all be over anyway. You take vacations to Spain and go on an Apres-ski trip every winter. You can afford it, because you just worked about 35 years non-stop.

After this short period, you're ready for college. You get yourself familiar with even more drugs and alcohol. Learning? Homework? Why, you don't need to work anymore anyway.

When you're 12 years old you go back to grade school. You have no responsibilities whatsoever and can play out all day.

When you're finally a baby again, you'll be hugged and kissed by more women then you'd imagine. Eventually, you crawl into a beautiful young woman, and spend your last 9 months floating around.

And last but certainly not least... you'll end up as a great orgasm!

I had a similar discussion with a freind a couple of years ago, we didn't expand it as far as you have but the synopsys that we came up with would be that you are actually missing out. It may sound like a great idea but never the less it's also a stupid idea, since it doesn't replicate the human learning cycle, you already learn how to drive, how to talk but you can't have sex, why?

You can't have sex at such an old age because you're impotent.

Duh. And would you like to start your sexual learning cycle doing someone who is all flabby and smells like night cream?

You're not dead.

It's reversed remember...

Normally, you live, then die.
Now you die, then live.

So you're not dead after you die...

What would be weird would be remembering all the experiences you haven't had yet.

Since it has not happened, you haven't experienced it. :)

Just because you haven't experienced it, doesn't mean you don't remember experiencing it.

How the hell can you remember something that hasn't happened? It's the other way around, remember?

But this is all reversed. So if one way we don't know stuff, then it happens, then we remember it, then the other way we remember it, then it happens, then we forget it.

Strangely as it is, that makes perfect sense :thumbsup:

good in theory but in practise it would be terrible, cos you never build up to anything, your always taking a step backwards... ie you never work towards a holiday, you have a holiday then work for it :-/
