Do You Believe In Astrology?
Astrology exists since thousand years. An art for some people, a science for believers in it, a waste of time for many… This post will not discuss about astrology in great detail or whatever, I will just give my opinions what I think on it.
I remember when I was about 7 years old, a Chinese couple came at my neighbor’s house. I was at my neighbor at that time, and suddenly, the conversation turned on astrology. My mother was there as well, so the Chinese couple said that they know how to observe hand to predict the future. Cool! So as a curious little boy, I sat down on the sofa and listened to the fabulous conversations they had to each other on astrology. My mother gave her hand to the Chinese woman to see her future, and the woman told her there will be a time where my mother will be ill. Some years later, my mother did have many health complications and she is still having until now, but has that Chinese woman told the truth? Not really! My mother is quite old, so it is normal for an older person to be ill.
About 5 years ago, my brother’s brought his French friend at my house for a dinner. The guy claimed he is a numerologist, well, it is not that quite different from an astrologist. He played with some numbers and so on, and said some things that will be happened, which most of them truly happened. He told on me I will be famous one day, well, I am still not, so I hope so! From all of these, has astrology played an important role? I will say no again!
The concept of astrology is huge, we cannot classify astrology as a science because if we look thousand of years ago, ancient civilizations like the Mayans or ancient Indians and Chinese took astrology as a spiritual art. Today, astrology is a business. You see your horoscopes everyday on newspapers, on the internet, and much more. Astrologists often take large amount of money. We always hear individuals will go to an astrologist but now, even businesses seek their help. I know a finance company which has its own astrologist to predict the global market, Wall Street’s future trends, and many stock exchange affairs…
If you want to learn astrology, you can learn it on the web nowadays…and you can study books, later to open your own office, make thousands of dollars, and voila, you are rich like a BOSS! As you are aware, so many frauds also exist… They claim to predict the future or your destiny when they do not know a damn thing. Anyone can claim he or she is an astrologist, or has spiritual powers or whatever…
Personally, I do not believe in astrology because it is always wrong. For you perhaps it predicts your future truly. Well, we did have very good predictions many years ago, such as the Mayans’ predictions, and so on.. They were good in astrology. Ancient Chinese and Indians also were extremely experts in astrology. I am not saying we do not have good astrologists today even this job is mainly for business, however, there are still honest guys who really care astrology as a spiritual art rather than business. In India, astrology is a very essential aspect, Indians usually consult an astrologist in marriage, business, and so on… Many Indian priests study astrology, I think because it is a matter which deals with Hinduism.
The reason why I do not believe in astrology is simply because it is not accurate. Evey year, some newspapers in my country consult some astrologists in different communities to predict the future for the welfare of our nation. You know what? 99% of their so-called predictions are wrong. I do not know why these newspapers give them importance. How can you believe someone who says he or she can predict the future when this same person cannot predict his or her own future? Now, you get the point what I mean! Moreover, anybody can adopt this art of prediction.. I will give you a simple example below, let’s say I am an astrologist and these are my following predictions:
In the coming years, more natural disasters will occur, many will die, a harmful disease will make its apparition, the temperature will rise too much and many will not be able to live…
Well, as you above, I wrote the future, but what is so amazing in it? Nothing! I said there will be more natural disasters, everyone knows there will be a rise in natural disasters, even science is telling this since some years…so nothing new..and it is normal. In addition, I mentioned a harmful disease will make its apparition, so what? If a disease will come, it will come! I stated the temperature will rise, again what is so new? Nothing, everybody knows there is global warming and this is something natural in a way. We do not need an astrologist to tell us of these craps when we already know they are happening and they will continue to happen in the future. Unfortunately, there are some people who have no brain on this earth, claiming that astrology is the answer for all!
So, what do you think on astrology? You believe it or not, this is your personal choice, but do comment and tell me your opinions…
