A little more NoJoMo
I decided to do one of the prompts from a few days ago. Mostly so I’d have some motivation of what to write as well as the fact it gives me a topic for another entry so I can try to catch up a little on my entries (which you may have noticed that I’ve changed the entry date of some of these to spread them out over different days)
"If you could have complete access to knowledge about your future, would you want to know? If so, what? Is there anything you wouldn’t want to know?"
I wouldn’t want to know anything about my future. Some people might not believe that but it’s true. If I found out something good about my future chances are I’d spend too much time waiting for that good moment to happen. I’d waste time waiting for it. And on the other hand…if something bad was going to happen (and if you believed in fate) then there would be nothing you could do to change it. You’d just be left to wait till it happened. Every day you’d know what was coming. How could you really live life and enjoy it? So I wouldn’t want to know anything about my future at all. Not the good or the bad. I want to just live life. I just can’t see the upside to knowing one way or the other about anything the future holds. Even if it’s a dream job. You’d still be stuck waiting till the day it happens. And what if life isn’t set in fate. What if your actions could screw things up and change what you had known about the future? I’m sure some people would want to know. Maybe some people would want to know when they are going to die so they can make the most of the time they have. But could you 100% do that? What if near the end you started to freak out too much and stopped being able to make the most of life? I want to stay ignorant to my future. I want to deal with things as they happen…good and bad. I don’t want an inside view of what is coming my way or not coming. I don’t want the chance that I focus too much on that one aspect that I do know and forget all the things I don’t know.
I agree with you on the future prompt too!
