Fortune telling is not something I would think too much about because what is life, if not a series of mysterious happenings over time? If I asked a question and it’s answered, will I subconsciously manifest it into my life? Will the answer cast a shadow if it doesn’t happen to me? What question would I even ask? It’s opening a Pandora’s box of what if’s and if/then scenarios that could become an endless day of imaginations.
Some things are better left unasked and unknown because the essence of genuine authenticity of emotions can be voided. Let’s say, I win the Mega Millions Lottery. Will I experience less joy because I expected it? I think so. The cynical side of myself would even say that I would have high expectations and be disappointed in the end because it’s money that shows me the true selves of people around me.
On the flip side, what if the future holds a terminal illness for me? Will I try to outrun it by changing up my lifestyle? Will I slip into a YOLO (you only live once) spree and start my bucket list of global travel adventures? So many possibilities before reality even occurs because I choose to believe in the fortune teller’s capabilities.
No, I wouldn’t ask a fortune teller a question because if I’m ready to know the answer, it will (or won’t) happen in my life. I’ll face it when the time comes in reality. Internally, I feel like I’m in a version of The Truman Show with God as our ultimate producer and developer. Loved ones who passed away can “subscribe” to our life as a channel on their TV. If the loved ones would have suggestions for our life, they submit it to God and see if it fits in His plan for our life.
I’ll have to wait until I pass to find out what’s on the other side…
