The Fortune Teller

Whether it's palm reading, tarot cards, tea leaves, coffee grinds or the crystal ball - the future has always been a fascination. On the other hand, it may be fear.

Predictions of the future is something people crave. Kings would pay wizards to tell them of any evils and defeats in war. Women in the 18th Century would sneak off to get private readings to see who they would marry.

Fortune telling was and is still considered taboo by many religions and so there is no definite way to know how many people still do it. But I'm curious to know. I'm not only curious to know how many people are seeking a prediction but if they are correct. Imagine if there were statistics and surveys that prove "tarot cards" can really help predict the future. Wouldn't we all then be standing in line for a glimpse? Would you?

Will I get my dream job? Should I invest in this stock? Is my colleague trying to sabotage me? Will I marry Steve? Will I have babies? How many? Will I move back to San Diego?

Imagine the questions. Imagine the answers. Would it make life easier? Would we be less stressed? Would we live happier and with less anxiety? Would it allow us the time and energy to focus on other things, rather than sit and worry about one or two things?

Do you believe in predictions? Do you believe that your destiny is your own and you have control over it?
