If the unknown became known.
Yet what is known can never be altered.
Would the unknown be a burden or a joy?
If the pass could become the present
Would we live more in the past
Where things are certain
More than we live in the present
Where our fate still lies on periphery
Of things better or things worse.
Would we be complacent knowing
The known cannot be the unknown?

i can see how the book idea seem fantastic when the writer was formulating it – how interesting it would be to meet and know your husband / wife when they were younger? i myself had always fancied that.
but overall the book was overwrought with too many plotholes for it to be as enjoyable as i wanted it to be. Least of all was this paradox – henry went back to his past to see an adolescent clare bcoz she was his future wife, thereby ingraining her consciousness that he will be his future husband. When they meet in Clare’s lifetime, she reveals to Henry that he is her husband in the future… so where is the freewill for either of them?

The known can’t be altered… but it will fade if leaving untouch for sometime(lol, just like me, I left my job for sometimes and now I getting forgetful regarding my field already)
Unknown be a burden or joy, it’s definitely depends on ones’ mindset. It rely on how pessimistic and optimistic someone is, my 2 cents…
