Evils of Cancer

Got some bad news over the weekend...Nanette passed away from cancer. She was my grandma's brother's son's daughter...does that make sense? She was my...second cousin...I think...? Anyway, yeah, it sucks and it's really sad to know that she's gone. Cancer is such a bitch.

Anyway...it got me thinking...if you were presented with a crystal ball and had the option of finding out what your future holds...would you take a look? I mean, looking into the crystal ball wouldn't give you the chance to change what you saw...or alter your choices to change your future...but would you still want to look? It's a tough question, because there's a part of me that would want to look but there's also a part of me that wouldn't. I mean, sure, I think taking a look would alleviate the stress and worry of everyday life (you know, why would I worry about the mundane details that I encounter on a day to day basis if I knew what the bigger picture entailed), but...looking into the ball and knowing what my future holds takes away all the mysteries, surprises and hopes needed to make living life worthwhile. But I don't know...it's a tough question.

I don't really have a purpose for this post...just the fact that cancer is evil.
