TRAGEDY LURKING

Life can be strange, you know, over time there have been scenarios where people publicly say they wish there was a way to see the future, the thought of the future is already causing a lot of problems with fake prophecies and spiritualists saying they have a way to know things that will happen in the future. They have in different ways made people believe things that have caused their demise and this is the power of wanting to know what is beyond you. People need to realize that there is a price to pay for knowledge and the price is not always known until it has been paid.

If there is ever a device that shows me my future, I would not want to get it. This is because the future unlike the past is not factual, it is ever changing, little things can cause a big change and even though you would know the end, knowing the process to the end is not certain and you do not know or can not say for a fact what exactly would change the rhythm of things for the future you saw. Once the future changes and you find out you do not like the outcome, you might begin to try to fix it and damage it even more.

The future is beyond us, time isn’t something we have control over. You might predict rain to fall, but you can not predict that your child or wife would enter the rain because of one thing or another. In that case, a teddy bear falling outside can change an already planned future and that is why I would always believe in the power of hope and faith instead of a future telling machine that could change at any point. I do not want to know my future as it would give me unrealistic expectations, thus I would work hard and make do with whatever I get out of life.
