Psychic Experience

Last weekend I saw a psychic, because for one, she was having a $15 special, (which has been in effect for about as long as I can remember) and also out of pure curiosity. So, my best friend Leila and I walked into the little yellow house with a psychic sign out front.

When we walked in, there was quite a bit of commotion. A little boy had a chihuahua on a leash, the chihuahua was jumping up our legs, and the psychic brought a shirt to a mysterious man in the bathroom.

The $15 special gave me two questions to ask the psychic, and the answers she gave me were startlingly accurate regarding what was happening in my life. On top of that, Leila and I gave her no background information whatsoever. She did not know our names, or anything about us. The answers she gave Leila were a bit suspicious in her opinion, but every answer the psychic gave us was detailed and full of confidence. I’m still not sure if there are legitimate psychics, but this experience was quite interesting.

Horoscopes are a guilty pleasure of mine, along with several million people out in the world, but why?

Everyone wants to know what’s going to happen in the future, what our love life will be like, what our job prospects are like. It’s the same reason that people go to psychics, the same reason they see fortune tellers. Do these stars determine what will happen to us in the future? Maybe, maybe not.

They are simply self-fullfilled prophesies. If we’re told that something is going to happen, unconsciously our mind will try to alter our reactions, our words, and our thinking to fulfill whatever story that was told. Anything can happen, really.
