Change your future ?
Today I was watching Krishh ... (The Indian SuperHero :) ) for the second time in the afternoon just for fun and some laugh (again) with a friend of mine ... The movie is partially copied from the Hollywood movie 'Paycheck' where Ben Affleck is the scientist who works hard and creates a machine to view / change future. During the testing phase (I guess ;) ), Ben Affleck finds out that he is going to be killed in the future and leaves a few clues for himself so that he can cheat his death and change future....
Ok. That said, my friend and I debated over this a lot ... How can one change his future ? The trick here is that if you change your future then it was not your future in the first place !! right ? If you predict that you are gonna be dead & that thats your future and you somehow cheat your death & are still alive, then death wasnt your future at all !! And well, if you die then, that was your future and you didnt change it ? It makes sense, isnt it ?
The machine if one is built ever, will show you your future ... If that did not happen, then all it means is that machine is faulty and it was a false positive ! thats all ... A true machine should show you all revisions of your future that you make ... what I mean is, it should show you the predicted future and then the one you changed it to and then you saw that one too and then the next attempt of changing it and so on ... First of all, this depends on person to person & secondly this could become uncontrollable as there could be 'n' number of revisions - n depends upon each person's IQ, his luck in changing the future successfully and his foolproofness of the plan each time ... The factor that needs to be considered here is that, we live in a society and hence, changing one's future is going to affect thousand other futures !! Who is taking that into account ?
So, if you ask me, you can NEVER change your future ! If you do, then there can not be a machine which can show you the future !! What do y'all think ?
p.s. Also given a choice, would you change your future ?

Or maybe, given a choice, would you change someone else's future? :-)
I completely agree with the view point.. absolutely true that if you can change your future then it was not ur future in the first place.
I wont like to change my future. I would make it the way i want it to be. that is to build my future.

You know what... when ever I see any movie with this concept I think the same way you explained... if the machine shows you the future that is called future if you can change it.. it not your future...
cool ! nice to see one more person who thinks the same ! But I am really hoping for someone who thinks the other way ;)we could have a nice debate on this topic !
I agree that you can not change yr future... but for good old times, lets argue on this one as well ;)
Destiny is in your hands... and you can change anything in your hands... sure enough you can define your future by your actions today.
I have to agree though that no machine can show you your future... but then again... wait a few yrs...may be i will prove you wrong again :P.
@Vivek : keep waiting man .. just like you have been so far to prove me wrong :P ...
and this is a good topic to debate on - as you said in your comment : you can 'define' your future by your actions today - NOT 'change' ...
Lets catch up on phone for this one - I am sure this is gonna be a long debate :)
