I have been pondering on the idea of being psychic lately.
Is it possible to know the future? Can one predict the future?
I honestly didn't think so for the longest time, and I generally still do not.
See, my mom raised me around the age of 10 that psychic ability is real. She encouraged me to read tea leaves, cards and look into crystal balls. One time I thought I saw the world ending in the crystal ball and I cried for like 20 minutes and refused to look into it. I still don't know if I was pretending or if it was real to this day.
I predicted I would have three children and marry a man named Mark. I want no kids and I am marrying a man named Nick... so....
I don't know. It's all weird. I don't think you can predict the future. I think you can estimate the future based on a person's personality and past actions. But even that estimate is not fact.
Why am I thinking about psychicness? My one philosophy prof is somewhat convinced it might be true and talks about it sometimes. Also, I had a psychic prediction that I would meet someone with a super abstract last name a few years ago, and it is coming true. I am scared of other predictions I had of this person, back when I used to think psychicness was real.
I am such a skeptic that it is impossible for me to determine whether or not it is. Right off the bat I want to say "no" it is not real. But certain experiences I have had make me want to say it is.
I don't want to be biased. I don't know. I am starting to think there might be some small truths, but I will not start rely on psychic predictions at all. I don't even have them anymore. My whole family on my mom's side claims to have them and they almost treat me like a relic because I wrote psychicness off for the longest time. I essentially still do, I am just using my skepticism to re-analyze my assumptions.
It's weird, I haven't had any philosophical thoughts like this in a while. School has taken me away from skepticism. I just assume truths now. It's terrible. I need more ambiguity in my thoughts to be able to think about.
That's why I love running. I am able to just think. I realize what has become important to me when I run. Whatever I think about is the top thing that concerns me.
Thanks for following along my confusing considerations. I should totally re-name my blog "Confusing Considerations" hahaha. That's pretty awesome. But I won't.
I'll try to blog soon,
