I mean, I would tell someone, "you have all the good qualities of someone I would expect to have a bright future", but no, I would never tell someone they have a bright future.
People that always told me I had a bright future back in the day harmed me as much as people who told me I'd always be worthless.
You simply don't know whether someone is going to be living till their 100 or dead the next day, so quit promising them shit! Someone can be a 19 year old marathon runner one day , with a genius IQ and the prettiest girlfriend, then hit by a drunk driver the following day and left paralyzed from the neck down in a wheelchair for life.
Now, if you see that a person needs encouragement and reason to hope, be positive with them and give them compliments. Saying, "you're extremely good at this or that , handsome, and brilliant" is a good thing, provided that it doesn't stir up unhealthy forms of pride and vanity. But telling someone they have a bright future is a total shit crock!
My mom got married to her second husband, had their first baby together, my little sister, and you could see my step Dad grinning ear to ear holding her like it was the happiest day of his life. I kid you friggin not, a truck hit him four days later and killed him.
I never have seen or heard someone weeping so bitterly as my mother when she told us he was dead, and just days before there were all the signs that it was the best moment in Curtis and Ann's life, and all signs were that it would be a super happy marriage, for I never heard them argue once and don't even ever recall them disagreeing on anything.
Don't get too comfortable on this earth. Tomorrow is never promised to anyone. I don't care what the Bible says. Shove it up your ass! The first Christians were fed to wild animals, used as torches at the Olympic games, crucified, beaten, taken to the gallows, boiled alive, all kinds of tortures like their teeth being all pulled out, drowned, and I even heard Pagan Romans would watch Christian girls get raped by donkeys for amusement.
If you don't believe in God, well then you don't know someone has a bright future, because what force could possibly be preventing something terrible from happening at any give time? So fuck off!
If you do believe in God, I can prove he's an ass hole that watches people who are devoted to him get tortured to death when they are young, intelligent, and talented. So fuck off!
This is a positive healthy thread.
