Would you like to know what will happen in the future?

Some people believe that it’s possible by peering into a crystal ball.

These individuals say that a practice known as crystal-gazing allows them to see images that help them foretell future events.

Of course, there’s no scientific evidence showing that anyone has the ability to predict what the future will bring.

People who claim to be clairvoyant (see definition and hear pronunciation below) are usually part of stage acts that are meant for entertainment.

So, a crystal ball can be a beautiful object, but it won’t tell you what will happen in the years to come!

Cool word question of the day: Do you think it would be a gift or a burden to be clairvoyant?
