Predicting the future
These days it seems that the future is not too blurry after all. With the world becoming such an impatient and sceptical place, people are now turning to telling to future to solve their problems. But why spend precious money predicting the future, when it can be spent on now.
I’m sick of people saying ‘ahh, the world is going to end’ and ‘oh, on the 21st of December 2012, we are all going to die’. Hey fellas, how about we all just chill out, and focus on now. Sure, horoscopes are fun, but you don’t need to take them seriously. Apparently I’ve been close to getting a girlfriend everyday for 5 years.
People go to one of those ‘gypsy’ ladies, who by reading the creases on your hands can tell your future. I’m sorry, but I don’t believe that for one second. This so called ‘gypsy’ probably comes from a family in Australia, and grew up liking Maths and English like everyone else. Then decided, ‘oh, wait, I think I want to tell peoples future, I can make people believe I am psychic, yet, I’m not.’
The real thing that frustrates me in this topic is that telling your future makes you devalue life as a whole. The mystery of life is one of most precious questions, one in which I think god meant us not to know. Let’s keep it that way. Instead of letting some made-up so-called ‘Armenian gypsy’ do the deciding for you.

These Gypsies are a joke! there is no way that they can tell futures and they are just exploiting people. The ones who charge for it are even worse. People who go to them are generally unstable and all they are doing is exploiting them. I feel sorry for the people who get ripped off by them and hope they come to there senses before they spend to much. These Gypsies lure them in, by promising something they cannot deliver.

Fortune Tellers in my opinion are only useful for a laugh at a carnival or a fete. Most of the time (actually nearly all the time), any doomsday prohecy that tells us that the world will end on 2o12 is most likely false. When you mentioned the gypsies, I’d think of them as people who took up the fortune-telling profession because they had no proper education or acedemic skills to pursue any other reasonable job.

Fortune telling is great, it gives people a lot to talk about, it boosts moral and also can give people motivation to work harder to compleate there goals. It also helps to lighten or create some drama in a other wise borring day so before you begin stating such drastic things maybe you should do ur research first.
lots of love
the rest was excelent.

Gypsies aren’t far from an obvious scam which naive and confused adults result to for their troubles. Your comments are valid and we should certainly be thinking about now rather than the future that will come in due time and which we can’t alter. Your reference to god and the value of knowledge is a good agruement.
