My weirdest post of all





The other day on the way back home something quite strange happened to me. While I was waiting behind a red-light somewhere in Mississauga I randomly turned my head around and took a glimpse inside the car next to me. The driver was a woman in her 40s full of piercing having a cigarette with cheap clothes and in the back, buckled in child seat, was a little boy 4-5 years old looking around. At that very moment just a random thought, as weird as it sounds, came across my head that what kind of future awaits for this kid? And what if I could jump out of the car and get into theirs and yell "Go to school ! get educated ! Stay away from drugs!" would it actually affect his future a bit ? ( I know ! Weird ! ) Then I thought what would have happened if someone had done the same thing to me? Then ,  I remembered ! 

After a long time, I remembered that  actually happened to me when I was 4-5 years old. I remembered the time when I was sitting impatiently in a bank waiting for my parents to finish some banking stuff, a random guy, that I clearly remember him even now after 23 years  came to the bank with one of those famous Samsonite suitcases, wearing jeans and a white coat with sunglasses and massive beard. He looked weird enough and when he was leaving, all of a sudden he came to me and said "You are a smart kid, get educated, go to university! Leave Iran and have a successful life ! Just one thing! Stay away from Turkey" !!! Well, I did leave Iran, I did get educated, and unfortunately I forgot to stay away from Turkey and in my one and only trip there I got mugged and lost all the money I had ! 
So to make the story short, apparently, 23 years ago, I visited myself in my 40s in a bank and damn I was weird ! 


PS> OK now as a wet blanket, the whole thing can easily be justified by "Conscientiousness Algorithm" with a flavor of Sigmund Freud's theory of sub-conscience development !
