Question:And why so?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: And why so?

beginning just to see how it all started and i could have invented or discovered something then.

The end, because nothing kills me more than only being able to read the very beginning of a good story and not finish it. If you get to read just the end, at least you have some sort of closure.

The end, its a 'revenge' and 'told you so' kind of thing for me.

Neither.
But it would be amazing to of seen each happening.
I am very glad to be in the time I am in now.

End of the world so you can see all the advanced technology like a robot invasion............. its the most important event ever

Since I answered your questions can you answer mine...

Actually, neither. Being in the middle now in the present will be much better. But if I have to choose whether beginning or end, I'll choose beginning as I'll like to know what life was like in the past. The end of the world will be most probably in a mess as something messily bad will happen, and we will be always terrified and always running for our lives. What's more, living during the caveman time and all would be kind of cool... I could be world famous for any simple invention and also maybe be the founder of the alphabet. It will be great as I could be the cleverest living being in the whole world at that time.

i'd like to be at the beginning where everything are simple and happy people are contented with what they have and they respect one another. No lies and no heart aches... how i wish i could...

i reckon the ending would be more exciting then the start...im guessing the sun gobbling us up or a massive asteroid colliding with earth. Start would be pretty dull. watching space dust fuse.

the beginning.

we have a pretty good idea of how the world will end (it will be consumed by the sun)

i'd like to know how it all began

What an excellent question.

The end - I'd like to see the signs of the Day of Judgement and all the good, scary stuff that will go down, haha...

But I'd say beginning for Wynshew's reason exactly.

The end, I am not afraid of what is to come. I would like to finally those whom deserve punishment, receive it.

I'd be here for the end, just to see how everyone reacts when they find out looks and money never mattered

how, i don/t understand, explain ur self very well..

end just to know how it happened and hit on chics in heaven, or werever i end up in like, yeah babe i was there.

the beginning

hello so much easier than goodbye.
life vs death ...

Eternity has neither beginning nor end.Forms keep on changing.No my dear,every morning means a new life to me and every night a death.Bless you.http://www.raja-books.blogspot.com http://www.raja-ocean.blogspot.com

I rather like this bit given that it is the only bit we can live in

The beginning to see how beautiful this world was and to see the start of music and instruments. Dont see no end so.
