If you were to come back as you?

So the scenario here is. Somewhere down the line, there's an ice age that wipes out the planet and all evidence that we've previously occupied this planet.

After a long time, everything starts again. When in whatever qualifies for the afterlife you're told you are going to be reborn as you.......

Same: Gender, date of birth, orientation, appearance and growing up in the same town/city/village as you did this time round..

You won't remember being you the previous time. But before you become you again, you're offered the chance......

Do everything as you did the previous time you were here? Which means everything you've already done up to this point you'll do again, with the same outcomes.

Or

Potentially make different decisions from the previous time round that may take you on a different path?

Remember, from the moment you come back you won't remember being you, nor the offer you were made.

Which option you choosing and why?

Option C, I am punching out God and rejecting this option because I refuse to go back and relive that life a second time under any circumstances.

As I don’t remember this life is like the opportunity to do it different.

do it different. no argument, no hesitation, no questions.... the chance that things will be better (i will be happier) is significantly higher than the chance things end up worse... it'd be almost impossible (in my opinion) to be worse.

If I don't remember my first life then it's all new again anyway isn't it?

Change the choices I've made and become something different.

I’ll do a reroll. Let’s try different decisions why not? Even if I picked the same other people would vary their decisions so it wouldn’t work out.
