Though there's always the fear of the unknown, and if I were to know what will happen, then I wouldn't have that fear. But there's still the matter of having bechira to choose how your life will end up. So that if you "know" what will happen, then I feel as though you don't have a choice to change anything, and then it can feel like your stuck.Jewish Side of Babysitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792110478994916775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665385599853681934.post-52195255152505945472010-01-13T22:03:34.009-05:002010-01-13T22:03:34.009-05:00Very interesting question.

But, as a mother who worries about her children too much, I would like some... reassurance. Just a little word from Above saying "Don't worry, Raizy, your kids will be just fine". You know, just enough to let me know that I can stop worrying and relax.SuperRaizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742653185025562286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665385599853681934.post-50266747102816578222010-01-08T07:02:34.843-05:002010-01-08T07:02:34.843-05:00I loved Back to the Future - years ago it was one ...I loved Back to the Future - years ago it was one of my favorite films - and I too would never have remembered the details- :)<br />And yes, it's a good point - wanting to fix things.<br />But my point was not only that - it was more about being able to handle it emotionally - to live in the moment even while knowing the future.. that would be hard ...I think.theonlywayiknowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894345390515159483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665385599853681934.post-54718861625969878352010-01-07T14:06:31.309-05:002010-01-07T14:06:31.309-05:00Dini...

Seeing the future ...Dini's making a good point. Seeing the future guarantees an attempt to "fix" what you see.<br /><br /> Reminds me of the plot from "Back To the Future", where Michael J. Fox's character (Marty)knows his father was going to get hit by a car, saves him, and that results in his father never having met his mother, totally screwing up his very existence, when all he wanted to do was help. <br /><br />Point is, that our futures are intertwined with an infinite series of resulting events, (the so called "butterfly effect", if you will) which fourtunately we are not privy to. Some things are too complex for the human capacity to absorb, so it's a blessing to just be able to live life with that degree of oblivion, and roll with the punches for better or for worse...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665385599853681934.post-51816378091855083412010-01-06T22:36:02.775-05:002010-01-06T22:36:02.775-05:00Hey welcome to the blogging velt.

Someone like me, for example, if seeing good, would wonder when it was going to happen, and am I doing what I'm meant to be doing to deserve it, and will something I do make it change for the worse - lol. Etc. Another person might take comfort and think - ''whew' I can relax now. Let me count the ways I can now go and enjoy life without worry.<br />Depends.<br />And I think similarly with something strange or bad. You can either enjoy life until the bad thing happens - not worry - might as well enjoy life while it's good. Or<br />you can spend the next five years in terror, waiting for the signs..<br />I guess that before you look into the mirror at midnight, you need to first look into the mirror to see who you are - and decide if midnight is the right time for you.theonlywayiknowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894345390515159483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665385599853681934.post-2040609825250018032010-01-06T13:44:25.264-05:002010-01-06T13:44:25.264-05:00Menachem...
