If you wewre given the opportunity to have the ability of foresight....the ability to know everything that was going to happen, would you want it? Why or why not would you and would you use it for selfish or for the good of man kind...be honest...no sugar coating....

hmm I know it isn't exactly this week's discusion but I'm replying anyways ^^
I'd take it I'd use it whenit came ot me because realy you cna't just call up a vision. I guess I'm a lil on the good nad go for it side though because I already have the gift and have embraced it. Though you cannot call a vision whenever you want one, and though what you do see is just a possible future, I still think its nice to have as a heads up. I would and do use it to help others, I think its expected of thoes whoa re blessed with the gift of forsight. ANd it doesn't also happen randomly. Its genitic in the women on my moms family. It happend every 3 generations for use..but in otehrs its prolly different. I dunno if I really answered the question but this is my repaly n e ways

Heh, such an old tompic, but I'm board and feel like replying to it I wouldn't want the ability to see EVERYTHING forced upon me, it would be too overwhelming and not to mention how boring life would become, knowing every small detail and such. However, if I could choose what I wanted to see, when I wanted to see it, then yes I would. Partly it would be selfishness, the ability to avoid fines for not buying a train ticket would be nice, but the other part would be to lessen the impact of large disasters, such as the Tsunnami and 9/11. I hope I didn't confuse you too much >.<

I think this questions should go under the heading "Can You Explain Quantum Mechanics and Paradoxes" If I had the gift would I use it? Most likely, how could you not if it's a part of you? BUt would I tell anyone what I saw? No. It's alright to do it for little things like win the lottery (yes I would), but what if you saw someone like Hitler causing another world war? Would you tell people and saved millions of lives? How do you know that those people weren't meant to die? That it was thier time. Also, what would be the reprocussions of the future if you did that? What would of happend if someone saw Hitler and stopped him? What new inventions would we loose if this war never came about? And believe me, each time a war happens we allways invent new technology. Does that make any sense?

Yeah it does. Also if you had gotten the USA somehow into WW2...earlier would they have won? Would we have gone against Japan and created the Atomic bomb? Would we have actually dropped it? WW2 and that period of history of the most important history to come around in LONG time. To go back and change even a lil part of it could in some respects undo bigger things. It's like Sound of thounder the old proverb.
A butterfly flutters its wing's in one part of the world. In the other it's a hurricane.

Hmm, personally I would NOT want to know the future. =/ Humans are so destructive, all the things I'd see would end up killing me. Do you really want to see millions of people dying, or the world being blown up after a country decided to put their weapons of mass destruction to use (We know all the major countries have them) and end up destroying the Earth. Nope I'd rather stay clueless and out of the way.

I tend to agree with this, however I can't help but wonder what it would be like to see things in my childrens future and having the foresight to help them and save them before the bad things happen. I think the ability would be useful, but exhausting..and I don't know how I would handle such a responsiablity.

Here's my non-suger coated answer : But then again, I have two sides to it. On one side, I can tell already that the future Earth won't be a happy place to be. But then again we could be on Mars and (can't think of next solid planet at the moment...) a moon of Jupiter. But anyways, it depend greatly on how far into the future. If it was... 5 years, then i'd want to see. If it was... 50 years, that'd be too much information to contemplate for me.
