Most people can look at the future without looking in a crystal ball, by paying attention to the logical consequences of their actions. The surprises will always be present, because you can't see every detail or every influence that might come out of left field because there are so many people creating influences that resonant through the whole earth.

EVen if you could know the future, there would still be surprises. I say go ahead and look.

I would want to look. But I would also realize that in many cases I am the one that is in charge of my destiny. I would view it as more of a guide than anything.

I think curiousity would get the better of me. I do feel though nothing is ever really set in stone and like someone else said, what I would be seeing is only a possible future. Knowing where you are headed leaves open a chance to take other choices and which ultimately lead you down a new path.

Seeing your path may set it in stone, otherwise the crystal ball would be merely a guessing ball. I think that's Ivy's assumption.
