Is it beneficial to know our future

 Today, more and more people are wanting to know their future. They mostly want to know about things such as university they could go, when will they marry and how would their life be like. However, is it really beneficial to know our future? I think knowing our future is not always beneficial for our life for these several reasons.

To start with, knowing our future can only cause anxiety. Even if the fortune tellers said a false idea, you will believe what fortune tellers said at last, and if you start to believe their predictions, you will be very afraid, scared and this will only be a obstacle in your life. For example, suppose that your fortune teller said “You will get a very bad score on college scholastic ability test.” If you hear what your fortune teller said, you will firstly try to think that the fortune teller you met was a trickster, and the thing that fortune teller said was not true. However, fortune teller’s prediction will make you frustrated and scared, and you will start to believe the fact finally. Then, due to anxiety, you will fail on the test and the thing fortune teller said can only be a obstacle in your life.

 

Furthermore, it can cause you to give up more often. Most people think that fortune telling can help us prepare the future and have more successful life. In contrast of fortune telling helping us to have successful life, it can lead you to give up more often. For example, suppose that the fortune teller said “You are not good at math. You will get less than 40 point on every test you take”. How will you act? Some people can ignore what fortune teller said and study more about math. However, most of the people will give up and do not want to challenge because they will get bad scores anyway. They will just believe in it and give up. Then, they will really get less than 40 point. This is how fortune tellers predict bad events happening to people, by making people give up certain things.

 

To sum up, knowing our future by fortune telling are not beneficial. Also, there is no evidence that fortune tellers are true. Believing our future what fortune tellers say is just ridiculous!
