A 질문 kind of inspired off a Black Mirror episode....

I wouldn't in either scinario. The future isn't real, there's no such thing as fate. Even if something theoretically tell me the future, that won't change the fact that I still have to give my marriage my all, 또는 else the future might still be wrong.

As of like two years ago, I would have said neither cuz I don't believe in fate 또는 destiny, but since then my views on it have changed. For friendships and familial relationships, I'm kinda meh on it so I'd probably do Scenario B for those cuz I don't care about my family very much and I only have one true friend.

On romantic relationships tho...I have noticed I've become rather cynical towards the concept of 사랑 in the last two years, taking on a "it'll screw 당신 over if 당신 let it" attitude so I would emphatically choose Scenario A cuz 당신 can't get hurt 또는 betrayed if 당신 don't put any trust in anything.

I realize that's a shitty way of looking at it. I kinda feel bad cuz I used to be upbeat and optimistic about that kind of stuff but eh.

In scenario A I wouldn`t press it. It would be too boring to live life that way. I imagine that would mean that I can`t change future no matter how hard I tried and everything would play out exactly as the button has said.

In scenario B I guess I might use that button if it`d work for, let`s say, old frieds with whom I`ve drifted apart. I would like to know if it`s worth trying to renew the friendship 또는 if they have changed so much that we couldn`t really ever be good 프렌즈 again.

I'm having a hard time thinking of anything that could actually be gained 의해 knowing that information.

Presumably it's so 당신 can gauge how much time/effort/trust/expectation to put into said relationship, so 당신 aren't horribly disappointing when it ends, but the length of time 당신 know that person would be a really crappy way to try and calculate that.

The time alone wouldn't indicate the quality of the relationship in question. 당신 can have short-lived relationships that were really good and 당신 were glad to have still, 또는 당신 can be in a horrible relationship for years and years that 당신 hate being in.

Like, I would much rather be close 프렌즈 with someone that I only knew for like 3 months that still left a lasting, positive impression on me than be stuck married to someone I hate for 10+ years because I'm scared to death of being alone.

And if 당신 just knew how long each of those relationships lasted, and based its entire merit on how long it was, you'd assume the friendship was shit but the marriage was awesome when really it was the opposite.

Consequently, 당신 may put less stock in a relationship 당신 know is only going to last a short while that 당신 actually had a lot to gain from. 당신 may put 더 많이 stock into someone that's going to drive 당신 absolutely insane in the long run and in the end not be worth it.

And if 당신 weren't going to use it as a way to decide which relationships weren't and were going to be worthwhile, what would 당신 even do with that information? 당신 could say that 당신 can't be hurt if 당신 know the relationship will end in 10 months, but is it really the length of time 또는 the relationship ending that hurts? It's usually something else, something 더 많이 nuanced, that makes it hurt.
Not to mention that every time 당신 see that person, you're going to have how long your relationship will last in the back of your head no matter what. That would suck, not to mention that it would kind of take away from the organic factor of building relationships.

The only time it would really be beneficial at all in any way would be if it told 당신 that 당신 were going to be in a relationship that 당신 were really happy, but there comes a point in any relationship whether it be a friendship 또는 a romance 또는 a familial thing where 당신 can kind of tell on your own.
And that's assuming things don't go 사워, 사 우 어 and 당신 just stay together because its convenient 또는 something which does happen.


There's really no point in that sort of thing when 당신 really sit down and think about it. Relationships are nuanced.
