If you could see yourself in ten years, would you?

I voted "no" for two reasons:

1. It's kind of pointless. I mean, Mihara's right. You can change practically everything you see in that one vision, so it's not really concrete and solid. Why disallusion myself with whatever I see, you know?

2. Even if you can't know the paths you'll take to wind up where you are in the vision, what's the fun of living if you already know how everything's going to turn out? It's like playing a game when you already know whether you'll win or lose or what happens at the end or like opening a present on your birthday when you already know what's inside. It's just not the same as it would be if everything was just a surprise. All the thrill and suspense is gone, after all.

Of course, Tarot's fun and all, but if someone told me they could tell me my far future and exactly how it would wind up, I'd just have to turn them down and see how it goes for myself.

I might. I mean, I like surprises, but that might be tempting.

If I did, though, I might hope to find myself at a good college, and study creative writing, music (I play cello), and acting. But, if I didn't find what I liked, I'd probably try and change it.

Of course, what if I tried to change it, and ended up with the same thing? What if everything I did to prevent from happening, happened because I tried to prevent it? O_O ...... I have a headache now.....

Tch. Yeah, why not? I wanna see if I'll be as crazy as I am now, if I'll still be playin' pkmn, still have all my PC friends(*huggles*) and if I would have visited any of them, if PC would still be around(*hopes so*), if I would've moved away from this diseased country(Romania), if the eathquake predicted would\ve killed me(o.0), if I'd get anything like cancer or stuff, plus a lotta useful info like lottery numbers an' exam subjects. XD

I'd really wanna talk to myself then. ^_^

I could have sworn that I posted here... O_O;;;;

Anyway, I don't think so. Where's the fun of seeing the future anyway? And then you'll spend the rest of your life finding the mistakes you made and fixing them. You'd just flip out. x_X;;;
although it's rather tempting to try to make your life perfect...

I don't think I would, no. That would just take away from the surprise and fun. I'm not referring to my appearance either, I don't care how I look/will look. I'd be more curious about where I am in life. As much as I'd like to know, I wouldn't because then it wouldn't be fun. What if I don't like what I see? Would I be tempted to fix it before hand afterwards?

I wouldn't want to see...I'm not sure where I'm going today, not sure tommorw, not sure of anything and I'd be somewhat afraid to see what I do in the future. Could be evil for all I know...

I don't think there would be any point, really. You can't change the future, because if you're looking 10 years into the future, then it's already certain, and nothing you do will stop it leading to that eventuality. And I'd hate to see what happens. I'd prefer to take everything as it comes.

As pointless as this sounds, I wouldn't mind seeing myself in ten years as long as I couldn't remember it afterwards. Maybe it's because I've been forced to read so much Shakespeare this past school year...*tears his Macbeth book to shreds and then stomps on it*... but if I were to know what I would become, I might try too hard to either make it happen, or to avoid it--depending on whether I like what I see.

Personally though, I'm not too worried about where I might be then. I always try to better myself in life, and follow a path that I believe will lead the people I care about and myself to happiness, that I can't imagine being in a bad spot when I'm older.

That aside, if I saw myself as a wise, honest, yet still quirky man with a good job and house of his own, who kept in touch with his family often, and... a loving husband with a wife who dearly loved him back, then that's all the reassurance I'll ever need.

But, that's just me, heh.

I suppose there wouldn't be any harm in seeing it if it could be wiped from your memory afterwards - but then, what would be the point?

Nope. I wouldn't want to see a hobo on the street being me... so when it happens.
You mean you'd be a hobo, or the hobo was pretending to be you? XD
