Before we are born, we find out the meaning of life. We know where we are going in life, what we are going to do, how we will turn out, how we will die, and all the answers to all those really hard questions. But, as we are being born, that is all erased. So we have to figure it all out on our own with no help at all. Can you tell me this? How fair is that? Is that the reason life is not fair. If we knew everything, life would be SO easy. And then when you die, you learn it all again. Tell me, does that make sense? It's pointless- we know it, and yet, we have to figure it all out as we go. And then, every once in awhile, a child is born that does not forget. So they know all the answers- they can see the future. Not all the time, it's in the subconscious, but every so often, they will catch a glimpse of the future or hear an answer. Answers to the questions everyone asks but no one knows the answers for sure. Except these special few. Why, you may ask, are these few chosen? I guess it's just a freak coincidence- a lot like the lottery. And, like any other group, they are just normal people. You never know, your best friend or boyfriend or girlfriend or teacher, mailman, mother, dentist, or doctor- anybody could be one of these few. There are…I think 100 in the world- all ever, in different countries. Some are poor, some are rich. Some are outcasts, some are popular. Some are old, some are young. They are all different shapes, sizes, colors, everything. For all we know, Mother Teresa could have been one or maybe FDR. You never know. I mean, think about it. They're normal people, look normal, sound normal; you wouldn't be able to tell! No matter how hard you stared or tried, it wouldn't work. So many people are oblivious, though, they don't know about these people. Many won't believe me when I try to tell them. I bet there are people listening right now that don't believe me. But, I swear to you, what I am telling you is true. The government knows and they try to keep the people quiet- these people can see anything the government does before it happens. And this scares all the big officials, so they lock up these people when they are found. How, you may ask, do I know all this. You see, I am one of those chosen few. I am one of those "freaks". Being weird- fun, huh?
