Food For Thought

Warning: random post

Sometimes watching some movies and series really make think about your life. I have just finished one old series, Flash Forward and it really makes me wonder. What if you know your future?

For decades, all sort of prophecies have been made just to quince their thirst to know what their future gonna be. However, the funny thing is this series shows us the behaviors of people after knowing their future.

What if you know your future? At first I thought it would be great as I was influenced by the media showing the shows that scientists invent time machine to avoid bad incidents in the future from happening to the world. Again, what if the future is meant to be happened in that particular way? Where you cannot do anything about it?

The combination of these two what-if questions really creates lots of conflicts. One can never imagine how much impact can be caused by taking a glimpse of your future.

In positive way, let say you saw that you won the jackpot of the year. Will you build a bigger save or vault to keep all your future money?

Or seeing yourself in a red sheet flying around and saving the world? Will you start designing a better superhero costume?

However, there is always negative side. What if you saw something more horrible like seeing yourself killing someone whom you know or love. What are you gonna do knowing that it will definitely happen?

Or seeing yourself sitting at the funeral of your next to kin? Will you tell him or her that they gonna die soon?

Well, what I think is sometimes things are meant to be unknown for a reason. Will you wanna take a glimpse of your future? Think twice. And the series is hanging there without a season 2 which is so so potong steam!
