Self Fulfilling Prophecy

Self fulfilling prophecy... It is what happens when speaking prophecy is what causes it to happen. "You will be killed by a man of the family Connor" thus you kill every man of the Connor family, and the one surviving babe, hidden away from the massacre, hunts you down as an adult to avenge his family's murder.

Greek Mythology is full of self fulfilling prophecies....

Life is full of them too... Though they are not spoken prophecy, perhaps merely... Observations... You think to yourself, "he's going to cheat on me"... And the suspicion burrows inside of you, you grow more distance, hold him less at night, do less, and he is forced to seek the warmth of another person's arms...

I suppose I'm guilty of it... More often than not, sadly enough. Though I hide it more often than not. All it does 7 out of 10 times, is stop me from being surprised when it happens. Sometimes though, it is impossible to hide, sometimes it causes the friction that causes the happening which never would have happened if the observation was never made, even privately.

I dunno what I'm trying to say, really... Seems an odd remark to be making on my birthday... But no matter.

Just noticing another prophecy that fulfilled itself for leaving my lips, you might say.

Cheers,
