Most times we think about the future, and wonder what it would be like. How many kids are we gonna have? Will we grow old? Will my prince charming ever come for me in his carriage??=P But would you really wanna know what lies ahead of you? Say there was a real person that could tell you your exact future, would you be curios to know what happens to yourself? Or would you just not care to know?

I often wonder what it would be like but I think I will wait, because if I knew it would take about the mystery.

Even if someone could tell me accurately that way my future will be, I will prefer to live without knowing it first. That would kill my hopes, dreams, and creativity. Remember God knows everything but he don't want to use his power to know our future that's why he give us free will and not limiting us to live in line with specific destiny.

I agree with you.. Maybe by knowing the future now, that has already changed the course of our lives and what we were told might not be the same again.. Just my though.. =P

When I was a teen, I was very curious on what life I would have ahead of me. I even went to some fortune tellers and what they told me was true, really happened. Now that I am already grown-up, curiosity about my future lessen. I don't even want to know it anymore.

Yup, I've had my friends read my tarot cards and stuff like that too. I never did believe in it, but it sure was fun to have that small possibility that it could happen.. :D

If I could have known the future when I was a college student I would have been very grateful and made some very different choices in my life. I believed I'd marry and have children then. I didn't pursue a career so to speak and was just happy helping others until "he" came. "He" broke my heart at the age of 35. Do I care about the future now? Why bother?

Hey MJLami, don't sound so down.. There's still a lot of things life has to offer us. Life doesn't end when our relationship ends right? I'm sure that you're stronger than you sound, and with your head held high, you'd definitely know that the future might just be as brighter and better than what would happen if he didn't break your heart.. Things happen for a reason, and this just might be your break for true happiness.. Give life a chance~! =)

I wouldn't want to know EXACTLY what will happen to me.. but had someone told me 4-5 years ago, I'd be married with kids, i still wouldn't have believed that cuckoo. Hehehe.. But not knowing is what makes life more meaningful. You'll appreciate things around you more..

Yup!! Yup!! So true~! You'll tend to take things for granted if you're already gonna know what's gonna happen in the future~! There's definitely no fun in that~!

i don't like the idea of having my future told. it makes me feel creepy about it. i like the surprises that life brings to me. not a perfect life at all. there are lots of ups and downs. but that's life. that's how it is being designed. so, i'd rather not know my future than know a lot about it. i will just work hard to have a good future and be excited on the outcome... anne

I wouldn't want to know what lies ahead in the future, whether it was something good or bad. Sure I'd be curious (who wouldn't be?), but it isn't important for me to know. I'd rather keep it unknown until it is time for it to happen. IF I was to find out my future I may be too tempted to try and change it, especially if it was something I didn't like. But changing one's future may not be a good thing to do...

yes, that would be surely interesting on my part. and i am sure that if i will know my future i will have the idea either to change my fault in the present or rather justify or rationalize my worth in order for me to upgrade or relieve myself from any difficulties that I will face in the next round of my life.

It is very tempting to want to know what's in the future. But I don't think I will want to know what's in store for me. I would rather have my future unknown. I want to have something to look forward too.

Yeah.. It does look like the agreement everyone else has about this matter. It's only natural I guess not wanting to know the future.. Thanks for sharing~!

Fortune telling is one of the prohibited act in my religion Islam so i will not but if i was allowed so i wouldnt ask every thing but few hints to know what should i do to become successful and which path is better for me so i would be able to spend my efforts on the right way but i think its impossible for a creation to tell decisions of there creator accept those prophets of GOD who were chosen man among humans ...........
and knowing future can be more harmful then benificial if you know whats wrong going to happen with you instead of good news .........

For me I dont want to know what is my future,Because I dont want to be dissapointed If its not so good,I want to be surprise If It is good or bad I will accept It,coz I know God dont give anything to us If we cant survive,he is our God and I will trust him for what he want for me.GOd bless us.

If I could have known my future at age 20 I would have lived a very different life than the one I have. I always believed I'd marry and have children. I have not. Had I known this then I would have found a way to gather the strength I needed to pursue the career I then wanted. Instead I bought a house that got me stalked by a neighbor for having and then 20 years later found the strength to completely change my life and move somewhere new to end. That house helped me get the one I have now but I honestly would have prefered to not have bought it than live the way I was forced to because I did. Now the future doesn't matter. It will always be (every day) better than those years were even remaining alone in life.

Well; well I do sometimes think about it : What if I know my Life's future?
How much rich I would be in future ?
Where would I be living ?
How would my relationships with near and dear ones go ?
How many Cars would I have ?
And lots more
Yet; I also fear If I see bad things and my present day actions would change .
So,overall it would be a mixed baggage .
