I was thinking about this recently and now I'm curious. Do you believe in tarot readings? You know, the prediction of future?

And if you heard that someone saw your future and it had a chance to end badly, would you believe them? Or would you try to change your future?

P.S. If someone knows a good fishing spot, please message me. I met a new orange friend and fish is the way to please him.

You don't have to believe something for it to be real.

[wildlinks]

But isn't it easier to believe in something that is real?

[likeacoupon]

Yeah. I've seen it, I know it's real but I also don't have to see something to know that it's real.

I've never heard of "tarot" readings before, but, speaking from personal experience, if I were to learn of a possible future, I would most certainly do everything I could to change it.

Also, depending on how badly this claimed future were to end, I would feel not believing them too costly to risk.

[wildlinks]

Tarot readings are done with cards that have designated major and minor arcana houses and they are often used to predict the future.

A year ago, I was told my future couldn't be seen because it was shrouded in fog. It seems that I have thwarted the danger for the time being, but my future still seems to be unknown. Neither bad nor good and I don't know what to think about it.

[tevinteraltus]

"Arcana", most likely related to the "arcane". The unknown. Clever name.

Well, that could have several interpretations. If we were to remain true to this card analogy, all decks have suits, and all decks have Jokers. The Joker represents the unknown, the changeable. Perhaps you are this Joker in Fate's plan. Or, as is more likely, it is your fate not to know your fate.

Is it so bad, not knowing? What if you did know, and it was something awful that awaited you, but that awful event paved the way for several wonderful events for others. Would you still want to avoid it?

I don't think I believe, but I'd still try and change it anyway. Better safe than sorry, I think.

I do not blame you, it is something really hard to believe in.

Last time someone tried to read my future in tea leaves it was basically like the scene in that magic book where the professor freaks out and predicts death and then she kicked me out of her house. So, I guess you could say I'm skeptical for a good reason.

[And you know the rational skeptic (tm) in her ear back home, even if he may be the reason that her tea leaves were so bad.]

I attended a psychic reading once out of curiosity. I can't say that any of the predictions came true.

And the future is always changing. You would have to know every single detail that led you to that bad end in order to do anything, and I honestly don't think it's worth worrying about when you should just live your life.

[wildlinks]

Really? That's unfortunate. Maybe the man was a scammer? There are a lot of people like that. It can be really hard to tell who is telling the truth.

It is true that future is always changing but someone telling you the eventual outcome is a bit frightening.

[jolting]

Most psychics are scammers. There's only one person I know who can see the future, and as I understand it, he doesn't even see the full picture.

You know the story of Oedipus? It shows how trying to change the future can actually make what you fear come to pass. My advice on the subject? Just live your life and don't focus so much on one potential outcome.

[antietam]

Why, did you get a reading?

Re: @a.parrish

[wildlinks]

Once. Over a year ago. The man wasn't wrong.

[antietam]

There are a lot of fake psychics out there. But some real ones too.

Even the real ones can't see your entire future, or anything specific. It might be that your interpretation isn't accurate or it's just a piece of the puzzle.

What kind of friend?

[He's a little suspicious.]

[wildlinks]

[Have a picture of orange tabby with big whiskers and one blue and one green eye.]

He likes them fresh :)

I don't really know anything about tarot, or predicting the future, but I do know plenty about fishing! What sort of friend is it? How much does it eat? I can show you some good fishing spots not too far out past the fences.

[wildlinks]

[Yu shares with him a picture of orange tabby with different colored eyes- one green and one blue]

I think three fish daily would do the trick.

I'd love if you could show me a good fishing place! Do you fish yourself?

[polarising]

why wouldn't you try to change it?

[wildlinks]

Well, one could try. But what if with all the attempts, the outcome is the same?

[ohhmrburnsides]

I already know I'm gonna die too early in some battle so like, whatever.

...Uh, that's dark, sorry. I can help you out with fishing thing?

[wildlinks]

You do? Is there a chance to prevent it?

[What he wants to ask is- can he help?]

It's completely alright, I do not mind.

A tip on nice, secluded fishing spot would be great ^^

[brotrips]

I've never had a reading so I don't know. There's enough magic, I don't see why it can't be true. But if I knew, I'd try to change it.

You have a cat? What kind of fish does he want?

[wildlinks]

I suppose you're right. It was a bit of a silly question ^^; anyone who hears that their future might end up crashing down would want to change it.

I met the guy a few days ago :) He's not really picky, just really hungry~
