Greetings and Welcome Michael!
You are a breath of fresh air compared to the usual TTer's posting in the forum, and for that I thank you.
You indicated that the future is not as bleak as you perceive we perceive.
My question is two fold:
-Are there any specifics that you can relate to us regarding the near future? Info that, if accurate, could be turned into your personal \"time traveler capital\" for you to use on this board?
-What brought you to the assumption that those of this time period expect the future to unfold in horror? Have you been reading JT or other timetravel tales?
Again, Welcome and Peace!
I appreciate the kind words.
I hope that my words will bring some comfort, because life does and will prevail. You will directly see a change in your worldline that will seem much different than the way you are living now, but it does not bring the end of the world. The best peace of advice I can offer anyone would be to cherish every moment of life, regardless of how good or bad it may seem. I would also recommend that if you have lost love in your lives that you should try and reclaim that love. When times get worse, you will definitely wish that you had reclaimed that love.
I do not want to get into exact specifics about times, dates, and places, because I do not have the exact times and dates of which major events occurred. Meaning, if I were to tell you for how long a certain member of the white house will overstay his presidency or about the soon to be earthquake that will hit America, and because of the differences between your worldline and my homeline, my "truths" were off by a few hours or days, you would probably conclude that I was lying. Likewise, if someone were to interfere with the events and cause them not to happen, one could easily say that I was lying.
I do not feel ethical in telling people about their inevitable future, because it would be as though I were playing God, which does indeed go against my ethics as an individual. I will not go against the nature of the superverse and directly interfere with the lives of individuals.
I will, however, say that America does get hit by an earthquake soon. That should come as no surprise, since anyone with the proper tools could be able to tell that something is brewing, particularly if they lived on the east coast. I will also say that the War Against Terror does not have the two ?chieftains? under as much control as they lead you to believe. Again, that should come as no surprise, since the conflict has not been as easily controlled as it was suppose to be.
I have heard of the ?time traveler?, John Titor, but I have not spent time reading his story. I assume that it correlates with what I am seeing on television and hearing on the radio: pain and suffering that is just shy of the apocalypse.
I concluded that your time seems to be fixated on the end of the world, because I have watched a bit of television--particularly the news--and saw that it was fixated on only the bad parts of human nature. I also listened to the radio, which was filled with religious doomsdayers who believe the end of the world is near. Not before long, it was easy to see how the American environment is shaping the lives of many people for the worse.
Our televisions are not filled to the brim with as much pain and suffering as yours is. If something terrible does happen, it is not ?shoved down our throats?. We do have networks that actually do not show the ?varn? that your networks show. Instead, they show a lot more positively-geared reality shows that are not filled with as much sex and eating as yours are. Our network television shows resemble something more like your 1970's game shows. Believe it or not, it is one of the many things that I have missed for sometime now.
Yours truly,
Michael
