for you knew the answers and the questions already... he wondered what was better, not knowing the answers or knowing them and not being able to do anything about them.... both of them were strange feelings...

oww!!
For a second there I thought that finally we had a science-fiction post here... and then it turned into one of those very strong thought-provoking ones.. but really I don't know whats better - though sometimes I do wish I knew the future/could see the future. Then that would take all the excitement away though - wouldn't it??



Love a dialogue from Troy by Brad Pitt which goes around the point that - Gods they envy us, because they are immortal while we humans are mortal and can die the next minute.. something like that! :)

nice read this post...
but for me , death doesnt scare me ... my death that is , i wudn mind o know my "deathday" but of the others - its a horrific thot to know the day / time of the death of loved ones ...poor wife ..



and this is one of woody allen's gem for you

"It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens."

HA !

'he wondered what was better, not knowing the answers or knowing them and not being able to do anything about them.'



And the worst is i guess knowing and not doing anything about it ...



More! More! :)

Thought-provocating.


I think id rather not know. Life would be too predictable and bland.

I like to believe Im in control of my decisions.

Even if Im not.

I like to believe.

well this one took a completely different turn from the others that preceded. i would go for not knowing.. it would make things a lot simpler i say. also we would not have lines like 'we gotta live like it was our last day today'..

At least we choose our fate while we live... our destiny is not sealed with a lock, untouchable, we can change it right now with good actions...


I don´t want to see my day of departure either! :)
