Can people really tell fortune

Answer 1

No, people cannot really tell your fortune. It is just fiction that people can tell your fortune, as no one can tell the future.

"Fortune-telling" isn't "seeing the future", that's a common misconception and worse, prejudice, that people have about certain aspects of these types of practises(such as Astrology, etc).

In a larger sense, fortune telling is a way of examining who you are and what you do and what you are capable of, and a doctor can reasonably be said to be "telling your fortune" by examining different parts of your body and blood, etc.

Numerous ways to "tell a person's fortune" have come up through the ages, some more contrived and less faithful than others, but simply through acts like getting a person to roll sets of dice while asking questions, etc. can a "fortune teller" get an idea of what a person is, where they are at, etc.

The teller can then mirror these observations back to the person to hopefully try give them some new sense of guidance and assuredness of their next steps in life, etc. and it's far from any type of "magic" or "seeing the future" misconception(at least on its best terms...like all crafts, professions and endeavours, it's only as good as the person who's performing it).

There's more to it, of course, but in a nutshell I would say that "yes, people can tell your fortune" and that they can do it in nearly an infinite numbers of ways(urologists do it by studying your urine, for example) :D
