This is why people are full of hope and expectations, even when things are not working well, they try their best to stay positive because of that belief that the future has some kind of salvation and solutions.
The future is one of the most important things in the lives of people. If you want to know how precious it is, jokingly tell someone “you have no future,” and see their reaction, LOL.
We put so many expectations on the future, sometimes even forgetting to build it. We mostly talk about it as though it is another life separate from the one we are living.
What most people don't know is that the future is not a life far from us like many presume, it is a life birthed from whatever choice, decision and action we are making now.
If people were concerned about the future and it's making them do something towards it, it would have been a good one but unfortunately, many only wish for the future and fold their arms only to arrive somewhere in life and be full of regrets.
No offense, but I think this is why most people crave to know about the future and when they get bad information, they get devastated.
Science is one of the beautiful things that has happened to mankind. Through technology, a lot was done and a lot will be done.
Right from childhood, I have had this affinity for science related movies and my eyes have seen a lot of miracles, of course on the TV screen, LOL.
Things like time travels, future predictions were part of it. Frankly speaking, sometimes I wish those tools were available so that one can at least peep into the future and see what life looks like over there.
If there is a device that can predict our future accurately, giving us a detail of what lies ahead, I don't think I would like to patronize such.
There is a reason why the future is kept a mystery to us and I think things are fine that way. Imagine that we all know about our future, what now happens to hope?
Instead of people working hard and living with faith, we would be living by sight. The bad side to this is that, someone might see a bright future ahead of him/her, and instead of working hard to achieve it, he or she might become complacent, then have something else. The future is not some form of luck, it is the product of our decisions. What you sow today is what you will reap tomorrow.
But don't get me wrong, seeing the future also has advantages, I mean, people who are struggling and about to lose hope can be revitalized if they see a good future ahead of them, but what if they see a bad one? Please, don't laugh alone.
I watched a movie, “Immortals.” There was this prophetess who had the ability to see the future. People praised her and worshipped her, but guess what? She sees the gift as a curse, because she could see the future, yes, but can't change it.
As much as we think things might be easy if we know the future, there is a very terrible side to it especially if what we expected isn't what we end up seeing.
Instead of being hopeful and working hard to change it, a lot of people will do crazy things and waste their lives since they know nothing good lies ahead.
The point there is, leave nature the way it is, the maker knows why he made us without the gift to see the future. Let's let the sleeping dog be.

Knowing the future has a terrible side effect, and just like you mentioned, a lot of people will do crazy things after seeing their future because it will traumatize them
That is it, we have emotions, out of disappointment, someone can just go ahead and do something really detrimental
Over the years one thing I have learnt is you have to work to make those dreams come true, to a point I think it's best if the future is unknown..
Gbam, what you don't know can't harm strike so much chord in your heart LoL 😂
It's indeed a two edged sword, abiii oooh 😁😁, let's leave nature the way it's and allow everything happen naturally, thanks for your opinion.
That's just the summary, "leave nature the way it is"
The future is ever evolving and a lot of people fail to realize that it will never give you details
Tor, that's where problem lies
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️.
Thanks a lot for this balance.
The future is indeed shaped by the choices we make. The same way knowing the future can inspire is the same way it can also destroy.
Thanks for sharing.
💯❤️💯
Exactly, it's two sided, one can harm and the other can make...
Yeah.
