Do you wish you could foresee the future? Would you really want to. What would you do? and if you knew and changed your actions would that then change the future. Have fun with this one. Things are way to serious right now

No, I wouldn't want to see the future. I know if I did, I'd somehow mess it up, and that would cause so much trouble. :l But if I could see the future, I would just look. I wouldn't do anything for fear of destroying my life. : O I'd rather imagine what I want my future to be. : ) Then I can really try to make it happen myself, instead of changing what happened in the past. Things are too serious. Everyone should lighten up ~ : )

hello savypat no i would not want to foresee my future like that. lol i take it day by day and i do not want to know what is going to either happen to me on down the road or i wouldn't want to know what was going to happen to anybody else either that i might care about or love. if anything, i would be like the Back To The Future movies, and i would rather travel back in time, than go forward in time. lol so i guess i do not believe in things like knowing what is going to happen in the future. you know, with those tarrot card reading that they have or even reading one's palm. no thank ya. lol take care and have a beautiful evening.

It seem to me traveling back to the past is just to much of a chance, what if you just did one very small thing and by that thing changed the future. But being a genealogist there are one or two questions I'd like to ask my great grand parents. Have fun

Heyya savypat! I would definately want the power but only if I could just see those next week winning lottery numbers. I'd split it with you if you pass me the power.

If you want the future of whether you win or not the answer is no. If I could foretell the winning numbers I'd win myself. That is the main complaint, for every action there is a reaction and with so many of us reacting who possibly tell the future. Thanks, hope you enjoyed the question. Ha

Hi savypat, no I wouldn't want to know about my future. I think everything happens for way it is supposed to be.

Yes and no. Yes, then I'd try to stop something from happening. And no, because it might be so terrible you don't want to have to cope with it ahead of time. Even if you could see the future, I don't think you could prevent it. Some things are meant to happen. Not fate, but some things just have to be. I don't believe in fate, but I do think some (not all!) things happen for a reason. That there is some plan beyond what we can see. I don't think our future is predetermined, just some guideposts are. Those guideposts have to happen so we have a choice on where to go next.

I think i want to have that power.. knowing the future even though that would really take the spice out of life. Life won't be a gamble no more haha it will be just plain boring. Just imagine yourself in a shopping mall and you saw a great pair of jeans.. then you saw that in the future your dog is going to pee on it and tare it apart lol. nice question.:)

It is not for us to see what the future lies ahead. God has His plan for everyone of His creations and let me accept whatever plan He has in store for me be it good or bad. Even if I can foresee my future I cannot change or divert it. It is meant to be mine. The only option for me is to pray that I will not experience hell on earth.

Hi savypat. Yes i do wish it a couple of times. Of course each and everyone of us wish a perfect life in the future. If i could see it, i might change some of my present to achieve that perfect life. No one of course want some regrets and the what ifs. To be honest im one of the few i think that wants everything in place. Im kindda worrier so if i could see my future, i know i will try my very best to make it so perfect no matter what it takes me.
