The allure of prophecy


We have been reading the play Macbeth and have discussed about prophecies. For example the one with the three witches in act 1 of the play Macbeth. They tell Macbeth the three prophecies which eventually become true.

The class was introduced to a modern day witch named Sylvia Browne who makes predictions about others. She is a famous psychic that had been on the show called Montel. I don’t believe that she can make predictions about others or the world in general. Her predictions are to big for example 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. Science has proved this as global warming which was discovered couple years back.

Which analyzing her 2007 predictions, Sylvia was not even close or her predations were too big. Her charge is too expensive and is a waste of time. I believe that when you know your future/ prophecy, you would do anything to obtain it. This changes the whole prophecy because your taking matters in you own hands. A good example was when Macbeth met the witches who made him kill the king. I think its better to not know you future and let it be a secret.

In conclusion I believe that Sylvia is a fake and that this is just a money scheme to get rich. I believe no one should know their future because it’s for you to make and not some physic to decide for you. I hope these two video I posted helps prove my point about her being a fraud!
