woeisme ok maybe I’d want to look at…. Romantic then. If I realize I’ll be happy, then it’s good. If I realize I’ll be sad, I’ll use that to focus on my friendships / other family relationships if I am doomed to be with someone who makes me miserable
Work - I wouldn’t want to because if I realize I’m gonna be miserable forever there but I’m stuck in that situation it’s just gonna make me feel worse
Health - idk I don’t think I wanna know because totally out of my control sorta + I already know what I should be doing to be healthy so I’ll live in blissful ignorance
koolness234 LOL I mean maybe I would… but what if I find out I didn’t get them (not happening because I will!!!) but if I didn’t then maybe I’d be less inclined to try to get them if I don’t think I will? Idk this question is hard… but I’ll have abs - I just know it!
I'll answer this in two parts because it'll get messy otherwise. Proper answer in second post.
This is an interesting question before you even get to your choice. Couldn't a paradox be created. Like couldn't you seeing your future be the reason that it happened in the first place? Like couldn't a lack of success in one area, be because you gave up... because you looked at your future? Or if there's an event I don't want to happen in my life... what if trying to avoid it is what leads me into that situation?
Like you say it was something you can't change But wasn't you always going to look at your spoilers?
And the answer is probably going to be no in a lot of topics. Because in my opinion it is a lose/lose.
If you see that you are doing badly. You are resigned to your fate. That area of your life will forever be tainted by knowing. You'll always say 'it was never meant to be. If you see that you are doing well then it means you are probably going to take things for granted. Hence my discussion about the paradox in the first post.
I also don't want to see my future about family/friendships/relationships either. It's a similar curse knowing when everything happens. You get rid of an important element of ourselves. Hope. As they're connected to your life you see when your inner circle succeeds but you'll also see when they fail. And they may ask for your support in pursuit of those goals you know will never be realised.
If you want to retire earlier than normal and you suddenly see that it's been fixed that you're gonna retire at a normal age... then those conversations are going to be less interesting and hopeful for you. If you know you're gonna retire 10 years earlier suddenly that becomes the new normal and life will still drag.
I have plans for the short term, medium and long term both just for myself and also for spending time with others. I'm hopeful that I can achieve all of them. And whether the spoilers reveal I achieve them or not. I'd think they'd be forever tainted in some way.
I could ramble on for a while about this so as a finishing thought... Not knowing the future allows us to learn from our mistakes. Knowing the future guarantees we never will.
