What if we knew what the future would bring?

'What if we knew what the future would bring? Would we fix it? Could we?' - Cecelia Ahern.

There's always the question of whether people would want to know into their future; what would look like? would they be married? what jobs they would have? kids? I personally think it kind of ruins the surprise, don't you? I mean, if you lived your full life knowing exactly what would happen the next day, well sure you might be able to stop arguments and wouldn't make mistakes, but isn't it the mistakes that make us who we are? Nothing would be spontaneous; everything already pre-planned in your mind. And what if you didn't like what you saw? What if you never got married? Never fell in love? What if you were alone? Stuck in a job you hated? In some grotty flat? What if you found out you couldn't have kids? What if the people you loved died? Would you really want to see all that in the future? Knowing all the heartbreak that was ahead of you? I know i wouldn't.
