why are people addicted to fortune telling?

I patronize fortune telling but not much. When i read the newspaper, i always check what's in it for me in the horoscope. My friend does basic palmistry, she mentioned to me some worse things that could happen to me. Up to now i can't get it off my head. Though it's something that i have to be cautious of , it bothers me. That is a disadvantage for me. But if luck is forseen it might serve an inspiration to me.It is like knowing what exactly you are anticipating in life , and knowing your future, you will be at least prepared for it.

I think, they get addicted to it because of the good things the sear says. I bet, if the sear sys something bad, they probably won't come back.

it is because they are benefited from these things and they do not have other way out to tackle the world

me too, so addicted to fortune telling..lol i dont know, it's just i have fun listening to a fortune teller what's she find to her card..sometimes, i'm sad if there are bad things coming out but i'm not affected coz i know it's only predictions, it can be true or maybe can be false..it's up to you if you live your life on whats the fortune teller tells to you..
