I do think that we would live differently if we knew what our future held for us. If we knew that we would fail and be a bum then I don’t think we would try so hard to succeed, and vis versa. When we are young we are taught that we can be whatever we want to be. So we spend the next 20 years trying to make our dreams come true. However the truth is that not everyone “makes it”. And I think that if those people knew that they would make it they would live their lives differently. That’s the negative effect on knowing what our future will look like. If we knew that we would succeed, people who are afraid to try would work harder and become something. Or if someone was going to die young, this would defiantly change the way they spend the rest of their lives. This could be a bad or good thing, depending on the person. Me, however, I am glad that we do not know what our future holds for us. Living life everyday is a gift and I think that if we knew what was in store we would take more things for granite and we would appreciate things.

I think it takes time for us to realize we need to live for our future. When we are young sometimes that is hard to focus on because that may not be the top priority. However, that is how we live and learn by making mistakes. I know I have made mistakes, however I have learned to learn from others mistakes and not make them as well. If I had only known that when I was little and listened to what my mother had to say or taken advice seriously, but mistakes are bound to happen.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you in that we would live our lives differently if we knew what our future was. It is so easy to not think about the future when you are in your early years, but as we age time creeps up on us. I think we would eat better, exercise and take better care of our bodies, if we knew the outcome of what diseases or bodies might develop.
