If you had a chance to know your future, would you? If so, how far would you want to look? Next year? 2 years? 5 years?
Personally, I want to look maybe 7 years down the line. I don't know why...maybe by then I'll have a family and a good job or something. But I know that could alter my future just by knowing...so it's a bit of a double edged sword or a catch-22.
I remember doing this kind of thread on another forum and noticed that most people who were a bit down wanted to look ahead while those who were happy with their lives didn't want to know. I guess it's because those who have it worst think it can't get any worst so they are tempted to look ahead while those who have it good don't want to know the future for the potential it can be a lot worst. There is some truth to that, but to each his own.
