When you say “I know ___”…

I don’t agree with your fortune-telling. It is extremely inhibiting and oppressive. If you have doubts, that is fine, but do not pretend to know. Temper your hopes, but do not pretend to know what your life will bring you or what you may learn or find. At best, to say you know is only the path to a self-fulfilling prophesy. You do not have the data to create a real hypothesis, yet you say you know. You don’t know. To say something about your future as though it is the truth is to lie. It places the temptation to misconstrue or even sabotage things as you go along, because you might seek only to prove your assertions, you will be blinded by your bias and prejudice.

Not knowing what will come,
may you live free of the burden
of false fortune and find hope 
that life can, in fact, bring you
what you desire.
