Sci-fi fictions, either in movies, comics or texts, have tried to present a life or a world where a lot is possible. The unbelievable and unrealistic things become realities somehow. Talk of time travelling, the incomprehensible devices and gadgets we sometimes see from the creations and portrayals of such in movies and the like of other works of fiction.
As a child, I kind of looked at these “possibilities” and desired them. It's like saying a child who watched superhero movies does not desire to become one? I doubt that. For me, it was admirable to step into these possibilities which looked possible then. Grown up, we all know better. Science is great, wonderful and powerful, but not without limits.
For the sake of the prompt, I'd like to travel down that path and consider the possibility of a device invented which can predict the future. You know that would be a game-changer right? In the world we find ourselves today, especially my part of it where one's labours seem not to be yielding commensurate results, many people could welcome this invention with open hands.
We've found ourselves sometimes questioning if indeed the work we put in is worth it. Maybe if we could know the future, we would know better what to do, right? I consider that at the first instance of knowing such a device exists, I would be interested to have a check. We're curious beings, and our curiosities could lead us where we might not even want to go normally; and my curiosity could lead me to it.
Such an invention would be a great deal and business for whoever invented it. Although we need to remember that people have been going to mediums and fortune tellers to know about their future. But maybe it could be different with science. However, one effect I see is that this invention could break and break people. How do I mean?
For someone who discovered that they have this bright and luxurious future, they could end up becoming lukewarm and relaxed about life. The things we know can either strengthen or weaken us. I also want to express that everyone has a bright future. No one was created to become nothing or to have a bad and wracked future. The plans towards us are always of good and not of evil.
The unknown is not really a bad thing. Sometimes it's best not to know some things. When we try to look into the future, we will certainly see good things, and bad as well. In the future, we might see people we love that we lost. And like “Flash” in the DC Universe movie “The Flash” we could end up breaking the fabric of time and reality by trying to alter what should be. It's a difficult thing to “know” the future.
When we talk of seeing the future, the narrative is usually around the good things, forgetting that life now and in the future would not always be a bed of roses. While this could be a wonderful and game-changing invention, I would rather sit tight with my caprisone drink and watch life unfold before me as I make diligent and daily efforts for a better future; with hope, belief and trust.
What should be better realised is that, we know the future we want and we should know that a beautiful future was planned for us. Our part is to walk in the right path, take the right steps, make the right, necessary decisions and trust for the best to come. For all I care, the device could even get things wrong or mixed up.
No body doesn't want to know if the hustle will pay someday or not but it is best we let somethings be they way they are.
This future knowing thing isn't bad, it can be an advantage to us but most people would like to act smart and funny how nature can't be cheated 😂
If you ask me, I'll say things are fine this way, some knowledge lead to destruction.
Very well said.
It's a good thing one hand and the opposite on the other. It could be to our advantage though.
Yes. I'll stay with the way things are.
Thank you for stopping by bro.
If time travel really existed, people will do everything possible to lay hands on it..
Very well.
I desired this more when ever I watch movies and I even dreamt about them, 😂😂 so at this your age you are still taking caprisone, well nice thoughts you have here.
That's true. You even dreamt about it. Haha. My doctor advised me to keep taking it 😄.
Thank you for the nice comment.
This is beautiful ❤️.
Most people forget that life is not all rosy, there are bright good and bad times. And there's no way such a device will be of greater help, it will definitely do more harm than good.
Thanks for sharing.
💯❤️💯
I don't think it will. It might have some good sides but the other could outweigh more. If only people will realise truly that life isn't all rosy.
Thank you for stopping by.
Exactly 💯 sir.
Very much welcome 🤗
It will be hard for one to live with himself knowing that he will turn out to be nothing in the future, or one who is with all power and money losing it in the future. There will be a loss of hope, and what is living without hope?
What is living without hope indeed?
Thank you for reading sir.
