If you had your entire life in a book in front of you, would you read it?

[Tai]

upon pondering this again, no i wouldnt read past my 14th birth day (im 15) cause i remember last year and i want to find out how my life works by living it. not by reading a book about myself.

[gatekeeper96]

now that i think about it, i wouldn't read it because my life is as borring as he**.

haha thats optomistic for sure

[gatekeeper96]

hey it's true. i don't wana live/read that over again.

[Tai]

meh given the chance i'd like to relive and fix sometings that i did in the past a few years back, but yeah come on the future you can make it as exciting as you want

[mr. rider]

debatable. knowing the future can serve as a warning for something bad that's supposed to happen, but knowing the future can also backfire on you. there are pros as well as cons to this scenario

but you can't really fic things that were in the past because they already happened. and like mr. rider said, knowing the future can sometimes be a really bad thing

[mr. rider]

i think overall it's more trouble than it's worth. you can fix things you did wrong, but i wouldn't do it at the risk of messing up something major in my life

[gatekeeper96]

very good point

Guys, please keep your posts over three sentances. And try and use propper grammar and capitals 

I think it depends on how much you think the future is set in stone... are the books permanat? Cna you literally rewrite your life? If you know something bad's going to to happen, would you be able ot change it? Or is our future permantly written down for us, with no chance of escaping it?
It depends on what your views are really. I dunno what I beleive... I don't think the books could be "rewritten"... but I also don't beleive our futures are set in stone. So it's complicated.

[Tai]

hmmm, good point, i suppose the book would only contain your life uptill now cause the author (...hang on who wrote these anyways?) couldnt know what you were going to do the second after like i might reach for a glass of water accidentally making it spill but i didnt know that it would spill, neither could the author i.e i think the books would only be records of life uptill the moments before cause it would be impossible to know what to write down.

[mr. rider]

i think another con is that you will be reliving moments in your life that you don't want to remember. these could be akward moments or even moments that you made a mistake you with you hadn't made. it all depends on your life oh and we must always remember that knowing the future can be a curse to us and can seriously backfire on us

Knowing what will happen can become a curse on both you and others because, say a friend dies, from that point on, you'll be afraid to get close to them.

Everyone has tragedy in their life, some form or another. I recently dropped my gecko, Newton, and he got injured. If I read that, sure I wouldn't hold him and he wouldn't get hurt, but how long would it be before I felt comfortable holding him again? How could I bring myself to pick him up?

Or like...say there was a movie I was looking so forward to. Just the excitement of it coming would be wonderful. But if I read I was dissapointed by it, that would ruin the fun.

And all in all...knowing what's going to happen would make life boring  =/

P.S. (Who wrote this stuff?)

Serious "lol"'s at that.
I think the godly forces of the universe came together to knit the pages of the individual futures and ends of the naked chimps on earth known as humans 


Before I go to bed, one last thing to think about:

What if you could read someone else's book?

[Tai]

What if you could read someone else's book?

oh i'd totally do that, A. whats the worst that could happen. B. im kinda overly curious most of the time so i couldnt resist reading some one elses book

[Gracie James]

Well what if they die? Or you find out you marry them but get divorced or something like that?

You'd be afraid to get close to them. I think that by reading one of those books, whether it's yours or someone else's, will almost always just cause fear; fear of what's going to happen, fear of what's not.

Kinda sucks, don't it?  =P
