"Tis easy to see, hard to foresee.” is one of Benjamin Franklin’s famous aphorisms. What do you suppose he meant by this particular aphorism? It is easy to predict the future It is difficult to predict the future, but easy to see the present It is never a good thing to have a myopic view on life A person cannot predict the future without looking into his past.

It is difficult to predict the future, but easy to see the present Rebecca, I would try eliminating answers when answering this kind of question. For instance, obviously the quote does not indicate that it is easy to predict the future.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would say it means like you can see the present and you cant predict the future so its the future is a mystery.
