*The prognostication of witch ruining human brains*

Looking at the nature of prophecy, it seems fascination and what I believe on it is that making prophecies is basically pointless. It is proven from the novel “Macbeth” about the King Macbeth. The incident when the three witches predict Macbeth’s future which could be true or false! But it was Macbeth, who believed in the prophecy and ruined his whole life. There are many people that allege that they can predict the future and sometimes it works, but it is not always true. I do not say that the people who read horoscopes everyday are crazy but the people who strongly believe in it are foolish.

Sylvia Browne claims of having contact with “Good spirits” and I feel that she is insane. This people act to have powers with which they can talk to spirits and also see other’s future. I think that this is just a mere way of looting people. As we see Ms. Browne takes a charge of $750 for one session that last one and a half hour. It is a business or a way of earning lots of money more than the thrust of helping out people. If she could see future or predict things then why won’t she see her own future and find some better ways to earn money and to help people. Moreover she predicts things that are more obvious and broad. For instance, she says, “Some glaciers will be breaking up at rapid speed; we are in a "polar tilt" tornadoes in odd places. More volcanoes everywhere erupting, flooding in the south, earthquakes and tsunamis” which is but obvious, it was not just a prediction but a fact that global warming due to people’s carelessness would disturb the earth’s setting and as a result tsunami’s and melting glaciers are understandable.

Moreover, most schools of astrology disagree on some of the fundamental tenets of their craft, and all of them supported only by anecdotal evidence of the most unreliable kind. Though thousands of years have passed in gathering data and refining their study, astrologers are not arriving at a consensus. A real example can be experimented right before our eyesight. Just read the astrology columns of ten different newspapers and magazines or have your horoscope prepared by ten different astrologers and you will most likely get ten different interpretations. There are no hard proofs which can support the prediction of astrologers. And as Frank Lloyd Wright said, “The things always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in the thing makes it happen”, meaning that if you believe in any fact would make it happen because that’s what you desire and that’s what is making it work and also cause you have shown your effort in making that thing happen.

I never went to a psychic neither had my fortune read (tarot cards, palm reading). Being a Hindu, my parents do believe in prophecies and they do read horoscopes from newspaper. And the matter of fact, according to our ancient customs, we arrange the date of the marriage based on the match of the bride’s and bridegroom’s horoscope to make sure if they are compatible and would live happily in their married life. But in our case study, what Ms. Browne says is just a common sense more than a new fact for someone.
