if you could see in to the future...?

Answer 1

If you could see into the future, it would invalidate your percieved present leaving little "free choices" that make them free.

Answer 2

Then I could have push the Fast Forward button to see how long I have to live, and then it all would have been a matter of urgency for everything and in every situation. I could not have saved myself from despair, as the scene of my own demise would not have stopped haunting me. By looking into my future, I would have made it certain for things to turn up just the way I have been able to see them happening. I would have known for sure that I am destined to do this, go there, live here, say this and say that and all. My life then would have been a constant struggle to try to forget all, all that I would have been certain about then. I would have strived to bring back uncertainty and doubt into my life, just to make sure that only certain thing happen.

Right now, as I do not know what will tomorrow bring to me, I live in a comfort of hopeful anticipations, longings, speculations and blissful ignorance of my own; I do not know what will happen next. And I know I am safe with all this. I can plan and think of hundreds of ways to live my tomorrow, and then I can think of thousands of things that I could expect to be in store for me in the future. I can aspire, dream and whish for countless encounters with happiness and success. But if I have had a peak into the future all this I would have lost for ever, lost just for the fulfilment of my curiosity that endlessly searches for certainties to feed on, certainties that are my life that come out best when I am not certain about anything.

Answer 3

You would go mad with misery. For the following reasons;

1) You wouldn't understand it yet it would look terrible (Consider the Roman Empire gave way to so many things, founded the basic language of Christianity and so many scientists our laws etc... all in Latin. but at the time was just another terrible power.)

2) Seeing it doesn't mean you would be able to do anything about it!

3) If you could do anything about it you would probably mess it up big time. Good example is the story of the game Red Alert. Go back in time, kill Hitler and mess up a major albeit terrible power that kept the Soviets in check. So its better not to meddle.

Simply some things we cannot know, for a good reason!

Answer 4

If you could see into the future you would know asking that question would be a waste of 5 points

Answer 5

I have done many times. Most of those times are now my past. At the time I didn't know obviously they were my future and sure didn't understand although had a feeling that guided me, and those dreams remembered so well. They helped me in many ways although many I ignored (not all did I), the voice within was trying to tell me warn me of bad times to come.
Some of those 'seeing into the future' was not seeing with my eyes but with my heart and the aura felt drew the image to prepare me or keep me alert.

Answer 6

A joke about what will make the world a better place is clairvoyant news readers, wouldn't that just be brilliant, the weather report would be accurate and we could all avoid the problems which would save the country suffering the consequences of a possible problem.

Answer 8

Not a good idea. Anyway, the future has not been determined! Everything YOU do, and everything that I do today will cause the future to be what it becomes.

Answer 9

In some ways it would be great; in some ways it would suck. I think there's a reason we cannot see into the future, though. So I trust that God made it that way for a good reason.

Answer 10

If I could see into the future, I'd be a Necromancer, although I can't see into the future, it is certainly one quality I'd like to posess.

What about yourself?
