If you had a crystal ball...
...would you look?
if you could know the future, would you want to? or do you prefer life to be a surprise?

Re: If you had a crystal ball...
I was always interested in the future. I bought a crystall supposed to be a crystall ball and found out it was only a simple glass.

No. I don't think it would be productive. Either the future can be altered, in which case, you are seeing only a possible future anyway, or else it cannot be altered and knowing would, I think, take some of the joy out of the good things that happen and create premature dread for the bad things that are to happen and thus take some of the joy out of the good things as they are happening.

Re: If you had a crystal ball...
Nah, I really don't like what I've seen in my future lately.

Re: If you had a crystal ball...
In some ways i am curious about the future. But I would be a little nervous because I'd be afraid of seeing something I don't want to in my future.

Re: If you had a crystal ball...
I am not really sure how I feel about this one. I think in some ways I would like to and in other ways I wouldn't.

Re: If you had a crystal ball...
Id just want to know if I would be married or lose my life or something, then that would be it and let life run its course.
