If you could see your future...
 
Would you, or would you rather it be a surprise?

Why or why not, of course.

I personally probably wouldn't, though it would be tempting! I feel like if you already know the story and the end, there's not a whole lot of point in reading the book, yadig?

Depends on whether or not I have any ability to change what I don't like. I'd totally want to be able to see my future so I can prevent all my future muck-ups.

Otherwise, yeah.. no point in spoilering all of life's surprises.

I'm not sure, i like reading tarot cards and help guide people through them, but really the choice is really up to them to whether take the advice or not.

Which i apply to myself, i take guidance and advice in the hopes to have a better future ahead, but i really wouldn't want to see my future though, i want to be able to decide my own path and how i should end things. [heart]

Wouldn't knowing the future simultaneously change it? If you knew the future even if you tried not to you would inadvertently do things that would change that future you saw.

That would drive me crazy. If I saw the future I would do everything in my power to change that future. I like the freedom of choice, the freedom to make my own decisions, and if I saw the future I would have to fight that future to make it my own.

I think I'd rather not know. What kind of life would it be even if we sort of knew which direction would take us? The future is a world of unknowns and possibilities and even if it's a little scary I think that's what makes life so interesting.

I wouldn't want to know, I'd rather just do as I go. :P
It could either end up really awesome and I'd somehow accidentally mess it up, or it could be horrible and I would be miserably disappointed. lol

I think Ginger put it really well. It'd either be really great, in which case I'd f it up, or it'd be really bad, in which case I'd either be thoroughly depressed about it, or I'd try to change it and just make it worse, most likely.

I wouldn't mind knowing something general, though, like: will I end up happy for the most part? If so, leave it alone. Or will I end up sad? In such a case, I might try harder at some things, but lord knows I still probably couldn't change it.

Lol, I wouldn't. Wouldn't want to spoil it. If I could travel back to the past and change my mistakes, then I would consider. [lol]

I'd peer into my future just enough to see what the winning lottery numbers were! :D

RE:
 
If I were able to see my future I would want to see my future right then I wouldn't want it to be a surprise because I really don't like surprises!![:B]

I know it would probably be best just to let it be a surprise... but honestly, I think I would definitely choose to see my future.

Well, on the condition that I'm able to change things, anyway...

But then, I'm pretty stressed out about not knowing what I want to do with the rest of my life right now, so just having some idea would be a huge relief. Even if I saw a rather unpleasant future for myself, it would at least be helpful to have some idea of what sort of mistakes to make to avoid letting that become reality.

Mostly I just want to see the future to know what I end up majoring in while in college, though. xD

gabriela 03-24-2013 03:13 AM

i don't believe in fate or destiny and there are so many contributing factors to where people end up in life. so if someone could show the future, i'd just see it as a possible future instead of the future.

unless they were from the future and traveled back and then i'd be like TELL ME IF I WIN THE LOTTERY, but nothing else. i want everything to be a surprise~

LoversEnd 03-24-2013 05:14 AM

I'd kinda wanna know as far as if I would be with my boyfriend, like marrying him. Then, leave the rest a secret. Can we choose it to be that way?? xD That's the only thing right now that I'm even remotely interested in knowing about.

clefairykid 03-25-2013 05:04 AM

Considering the kinds of things I've already encountered in life so far, I think it'd be easier not knowing what's coming, especially if you couldn't change it, it'd be awful to know all the downs that are coming, and how you die etc,

GypsyDancer 03-25-2013 02:33 PM

I would just because I don't like being left in the dark. I don't really care if it's something that I can change or not.
The way life treats me, I'd like to be able to brace myself.

Elluh 03-26-2013 12:51 AM

I would, I'm pretty lazy when it comes to change so I would probably be like "oh, okay. well, that's that." Unless I can avoid being hit by a train or something.

waytodawn 03-26-2013 01:24 AM

Nah, I wouldn't want to see my future. I like mysteries and surprises. I wouldn't want to change anything, that would just be an act against nature/God/whatever. I want my life to keep me on my toes. I'd try really hard not to mess up if my future was perfect but I'd probably accidentally mess up along the way trying to make it right. o-o;;
