if you were given the chance to turn back the pages of destiny and hands of time, will you or will you not change something? 
 
they say, everything that was has a important role to play in our destiny.. but what if, you can change it, will you do something about it?

Nope.  Too paranoid about time paradox and I ascribe to the belief that the timestream maintains itself and wouldn't allow such wrenching changes anyway.

If I could turn back time 
If I could find a way 
I'd take back those words that hurt you 
And you'd staaaaay!

@Edamame:   Well, as we have not yet found proof (by our standard) of other sentient life, that's a rather specious comment. 
 
However, that being said, time is both a system of measurement and a distinct force in the universe, and is fully integrated into the laws of physics as we know them.   
 
Edit:  So sayeth the armchair physicist.

We are what we are because of our experiences. Changing them, would change us. And I agree with Tomokata.

what if there was something really painful that you have experienced before.. would you dare to change it for you not going through that hell, at the cost of what you have now?

I wouldn't because things could turn out worse than before.

I wouldn't do anything because I'd be too afraid of ending all existence...
 
Wait, I'm not like that at all, I can turn back time, people! Now who wants to get me a drink?

@lord_oraculous016:  Let's say, for instance, that at a very young age, you were removed from a happy setting at the expense of helping out a family member, who was very UNhappy in that environment. Because you are not equipped to deal with a harsher setting, however, you find yourself quite unhappy, but that family member of yours is doing pretty good. As you grow older and equip yourself with the knowledge and pragmatism to survive this harsher setting, but seemingly at the cost of your innocence and formerly endearing naivety. You don't like it, and you wish there was some way to go back in time and impart the knowledge you have now onto your past self, but obviously, you can't. Years later, however, you run into former friends from the original happy setting, who seemed to have all the advantages you didn't have, but now their "winning" personalities that you remember from way back when, only disgust you.....

@Tainted-Cell:  that is the problem with all this time paradox.. one simple gesture or decision could potentially erase an entire time-line and the reality it houses.. the real question is, is one willing to change the present by reaching back and time to grant a simple wish at the cost of an entire reality?

@lord_oraculous016:  At an all-time low point, the inclination would definitely be there. But every reality has their low points, so what would be the purpose? Imagine the frustration, trying to make things better, and not only making them irreversibly worse, but living with that despairing knowledge.

@Tainted-Cell:  true.. but each and every sentient being has their own definition of happiness.. a change in the time convergence of a reality would definitely end up into another reality.. like what they have said, every miracle has its cost.. one cannot assume perfection in such a situation.. you are rewriting the pages of destiny.. of course there will be causality.. important people and precious memories can be taken away for eternity in a blink of an eye.. but if that is what happiness is for someone, then who are we to judge them.. but the question still remains, is the cost winning worth the fight?

would go back in time, and mess with everything i wanted. the worst thing that could happen is A) i end up not being born and run through the grandfather paradox, B) i totally mess up the world before going back and fixing it. or C) i make the world a more awesome place by stopping john bonham from choking at jimmy pages house september 25, 1980. LED ZEPPELIN LIVES AGAIN! lol.

boooooo!!!!!! get off the stage!!!!! 
 
for me if i could turn back time id get to that clothing full of cash first before the others got to it. b/c when i got to it there was like only $20 or so left. stupid parents made me return it to the owner and got only $20 as a reward [i think]. then wouldnt you know it... i got ridiculed ny the jagoffs in my class [particularly the bullies]. after that i learned that it does NOT pay to be a good samaritan [sp].

If I could turn back time... I would. 
 
I would not change anything out of fear... But there are some things I missed that I would have liked to been there. Like one of my good friends who died... I was out of town, and missed the funeral... I would have liked to been there. There are more things like this. Not change anything or do anything to stop a bad thing from happening... I would have liked to have said a few things to people I can no longer talk to, that would be nice.
