Very nice. Your cynical take is a nice foil to the philosophical musings of my own version! Congrats on a well-deserved win!

Hi Pandita! I agree with your reasoning in this lovely haiku. Many are those who ignore divine intervention but are willing to put their faith (fate) in human predictions. Congratulations on a merited win! // paul

or do they create a future with their words, if the person believes the story and expects it to happen.... we create our own future ...perhaps...exspectation ... "you will meet a dark stranger ...not that ugly bugger hey" keep looking :} love your Aztec haiku....this one asks questions well too...

I really like this. A lot of it is so fake. I like to think some of them are the "real thing" What do you think?

Pandita Sietesantos

In my personal experience, a few "seers" have actually been pretty good at it with some uncanny accuracy. Most however, were very inaccurate (apart from the most obvious things). As human beings we hope for ways to control our lives, to make it better - but most of what's out there is bogus and really just a waste of time and money!

Thanks, Mohan. Too many charlatans around!

Misinforming the future, that is for sure. When I was about 12 a friend of my sister who claimed such skills, very wrongly predicted my future and it had a dark effect on me for a few years.

Hi Jim, there are so many charlatans out there playing on people's insecurities, gullibility, need to know, etc. I too have first hand info on this as I have also been a victim in the past!
