Anticipations vs Predictions

“Abey yeh dekh..mera dost bola ki yahan pe ek aadmi hai jo horoscopes bolta hai..woh bhi patte dekh ke..jo sach mein hota hai”..This was wat my fren told me in the office the other day..The conversation was overheard by a few colleagues and we started to have a discussion about it..Apparently one my fren’s fren had been to this “aadmi” and what he said turned out to be quite real about the past years of the former’s life..
So there were quite some speculations about this “aadmi” which went on for a few mins in the office..Ofcourse it was during a small tea break but nevertheless was an interesting discussion..
I was standing amidst the discussion going on which pretty much enveloped the whole atmosphere around and there was an unusual excitement in the air..
I’m not a steadfast believer in all these predictions and tarot reading and stuff..But that particular day i found myself wondering about a simple fact.
Is it that i really don’t believe in all these things OR am i too scared to know the truth about my future(as they call it)..Then after a few mins of pondering amidst all the ruckus i concluded that it was the latter..I was indeed scared to know it..It might not be true and might just be bullshit OR it could be true and that was what was going to happen..
But considering the second possibility the feeling of already knowing what was going to happen is more scarier than the the thing happening itself..
There are many ways to know the future..Palm reading..Tarot reading..Tea leaves..and last but not the least dreams..
I’m currently reading this graphic novel called “The Sandman” which im beginning to like..Dreams are but a realm through which every human has to pass..That concept is good but however knowing the fact that dreams could play a role in our life is scary..
Well all this is again purely belief..You can either choose to believe the predictions or not..but sometimes you do get in a place where you have a dilemma either to believe all these things and predictions or just chuck it all and move on..Considering the fact that it is scary (atleast to me) to believe in all these i would rather leave it an enigma than to be known of what is going to happen in the future..Because the confidence of every human lies in the fact that they can make their own future and they’re in the control of their own life..So if given a choice i would rather face the future with pure anticipation and excitement rather than being scared..Maybe luck does play a hand in all our lives..So lets leave it to that to do its job..Every dark cloud has a silver lining and every white cloud has a dark shade in it..

  1. How about this: Once you know what your future is going to be(given the tarot card predicted it right), you can TRY and alter it. And if you alter it, well, the tarot card just lied. If it didn’t, atleast you could take precautions to prevent the worst. You could apply this logic when you’re scared to know what lies ahead in the future. But I agree with you on the anticipation part. Its better not knowing anything about the future. Especially for the good things in life. Knowing the good thing in advance would ruin the surprise and reactions. PS. I don’t believe in tarot cards.

  2. No actually..if u believe in it and get to find out that the future is bad for u..u will crib about it rather trying to change it(you wouldn’t want to change something which u believe in now,would you) 🙂

  3. Hey! FYI, dreams are just how your mind relieves itself.What is running in your subconscious mind gets out in the way of dreams.So, dreams do not predict future, it shows you what you want/fear..So,well… you can dream and interpret your dreams any number of times and anyhow u want to 😛
