Sidenote[that is related to this!]: So, in English, we're reading MacBeth! [I wanna be Lady MacBeth! xP] And as a joke, my English teacher made us answer questions relating to the overall plot of MacBeth. [ie, Money can make a person happy; Power can make a person happy; Witches exist and always have exist; AND 'People shouldn't put too much fate into fortune-telling'. So my whole group was like..."I don't believe in fortune telling."
And I was like..."I believe! I believe!" because well, my mother believes, and my grandmother believes because a fortune teller predicated the year of my grandfather's death correctly. D:
So...everyone in the group thought I was insane, and we laughed it off, since we found out that 2 people believed in witches. xP
My family's fortune-teller predicted the year of my period. xDD
Well, not my period per-se. . . He said 'blood' was in my future, and that can be interpreted in a number of ways, rape, sexual-intercourse, death, abuse, yadda, yadda. . . X.x
To start, I wouldn't say "Fortune-telling is absolute bollocks", primarily because such a statement would offend many who believe in and practice prophecy. I'm just disenchanted with the idea of fortune-telling, is all.
To make a long story short, I don't think people should rely on it as much as some do. Granted, some prognostications may be accurate, but frankly, many of them are statements of common sense [such as saying "it will rain tomorrow" on an overcast day], too generic to be trusted [such as "your loved one will return to you"], coincidental remarks, or pure strokes of serendipity.
So yeah, an oracle might be fun to hearken once in a while, but s/he shouldn't be depended upon.
