The Future

In my many years I have only known one person that has gone to a "fortune teller." There may have been others, but they sure didn’t tell me. The man that did was just a teenager at the time, but he was told that he would be rich before he was 25 and dead by the time he was 30. Guess what? Neither happened.

The point is there is no one that can foresee the future, but what if you could. If it were possible for you to take a pill or get struck by lightning or something that suddenly gave you the ability to see what lies ahead, would you do it? I will admit that it might be fun for a short time. And, you could certainly become rich if you were so inclined. But, could you live with what you would see?

In the beginning, no one would believe you, and when you finally gained credibility, you would be overwhelmed with request from individuals wanting to know about their lives. There would be enough burdens just to know what would happen to you and your family and friends. To see the future of a country would be devastating.

Did you notice, that I did not mention that you would be able to change the future, just see it.

I don’t want to know my future. I have enough trouble getting out of bed now.
