Is There What Will Precisely Happen?
At morning a man on a roadside is walking fully calmly. What is going to happen when the man knows that he is going to be crashed by a truck?
A next moment can indeed be predicted by our calculation and guess. Otherwise, we will never be able to grip our future. That would be a big problem supposing that we did not see what is in the front of us. Unfortunately, we are limited, being restrained because of our own limitation.
Can we really see what will happen clearly? Whereas, we do not a complete and definite ability to (fore)see beyond a doubt. Even though we refuse to need the doubt in order to reach the full certainty, we are in need of the doubt to review and reconsider our prediction to keep making us watchful and vigilant to all which is going to happen or to the other possibilities which will take place.
In the case of the man, what is going to happen when the man does not have an ability to see that a truck will be crashing him? In case he is able to see, will the truck crash him? We must answer negatively that the man is not going to be crashed since he can sidestep the accident — whether he will not possibly pass through the roadside or he will possibly freeze the moment by making it failed to happen to him.
How is about the destiny? Is there an explicit and fixed destiny? Let us take a closer look. If the man knows and can see what is going to happen to him, there will be two possible occurrences. First, the man is acquiescent to be crashed by the truck even if he has known that the truck will crash him. This means that the man is obedient to being compliant with his destiny or in other words he is willing to accept what the Able has determined.
For the first condition above, he makes the certainty very certain for him. He does not have a bit of doubt to evade the certainty or does not want to change what we call certainty to immediately be uncertainty. I do not want to say that he is a good person because of being obedient to all to happen. Exactly I am curious why he does it and why he does not amend it in accordance with the nature of human being, to keep surviving.
Second, he knows and can (fore)see that the truck at the minute even the second must crash him so that he must sidestep taking the roadside. Certainly, he will not be crashed and all of the arrays of his life will change. Regardless of his being dead or disabled, all of his life is exactly different from the first.
The ability of seeing what will occur makes him change what will occur itself. So, how can what will occur be what will occur if the man annuls and cancels what will occur to occur? That is the paradox of the future. We perpetually change what we see and what we know. No sooner do we see what will happen, than we change what will happen itself. Even immediately that we know it, we are outright adjusting it to what we want or what it is (supposed) to be. Has it not been clear that “what will happen” is every time changed by our seeing and our knowing what will happen itself?
Okay, I agree with an objection uttering that we cannot utterly change what will happen even if we have known it. We only adjust it a bit because of a presupposition that actually what we change from what will happen itself is what will happen itself. But what I want to underline is, that every time we see and know what will happen, we must consciously or unconsciously react promptly to it. Instantly that we react to it, we modify its contour, so that we meet another occurrence different from the first condition when we do not react to it at all. Note that it is truly impossible for us, after seeing, not to modify because our seeing and our knowing are the touches of the stitching of all moments which must affect the contour of the moment itself.
Every time we see, we touch; every time we touch, we really transform the contour in spite of a bit. Is there “what will ‘precisely’ happen” when we see and know it? Are we not constantly perceiving and noticing the happening?
