Everyday is a mystery.
We don't know the outcome
can only guess at the ending.
We are terrible at predicting.
Though our minds need convincing.
We learn to look ahead
while we're children.
Pick a scenario and be
confident in our commitment.
Truth is,
we don't know the future.
It's not a skill that we're lacking
that can be fixed by a tutor.
Seeing ahead sometimes is
as credible as a rumor.
Could be right
could be absolute bunk.
Strong attachments to the
outcome can have our hopes sunk.
Who would've thunk that
our predictions could be wrong.
Not with all of our rationale
and readily accessible knowledge.
For all of the things
we learn in college
you'd think we'd have
good predicting prowess.
True
we get it right
every now and then.
Out of a thousand losses
we remember that one win.
