No Time Like the Present

If there were a way to tell the future it would be the least of ideals, for in knowing the future one would feel the necessity to change the present. It matters not if the future is good or bad--if the former one would want to ensure the good did in fact arrive, and if the latter the privy individual would do everything imaginable to alter the present to change the future.

The problem is that in changing the present the future and the course of history would indeed be affected, but knowing its outcome would only prompt more changes in the present! Fortunately, I do not know the future, so I don't know what effect posting this blog will have, and therefore need not consider it further. Those of you who know me and read this will now ask for the English translation, but I will leave that for a future endeavour.
