to see the future, it to be trapped--
once you see the future, and expect that future to be true, you are forever closing down millions of pathways
the future is like a dandelion head 1000 wisps, chose one, latch onto it, and you follow that path.. all the other wisps, gone with the wind..
but until the moment you chose 1 wisp, 1000 choices are available. (and once you make a choice, its like landing on another dandelion head, 1000 new choice appear.
to know the future, is to be trapped by that path, to lose free will. sages through the ages realized that.
Deidre, a classic celtic tale, starts out with all of Deidre's life being fortold.. the civil wars, the death, the loss, her banishment and punishment.. all told.. and all come to pass. deirdre find freedom in her death.. the one event that has not been fortold.
or read Dune.(same idea, that to know the future is not a blessing, but a trap.)
