This is a post I wrote for the 2019 Best of Mississippi contest. The gist of the post is that I think the future will be an ugly mess, and that we will all be forced to deal with it. The best way to avoid this is to take care of your body, and not get too comfortable or too lazy.
Sounds like that’s what I’m doing, but I also think we’re all going to be so busy that the future will be pretty much in our control. I’m sure you’re noticing more people in their 30s and 40s are turning into moms and dads by the year 2029 than in previous decades, it’s probably because we’re more self-aware of what the future holds.
In fact, I think it’s already happening. I think it’s happening to younger generations as well, as we get older and more aware of where our lives are headed. And I think it’s not just because they have less time to spend in the office or on the couch. The fact that I have more time to spend writing this means that I think the future I see for myself is going to be a little more progressive.
To most people, the future is defined by the way they think about it. In general, I think that we don’t realize that our beliefs are going to change as we grow and get more and more mature. I think this is because we spend so much time worrying about what we think is going to happen, what we think is the best thing to do in the future, and worrying about how others think.
There is a lot of evidence to suggest that our beliefs are going to change over time. Even in the span of just twelve hours, our thoughts about the past go from being dominated by our beliefs about the future to being dominated by our beliefs about the past. This is also related to just how much time we spend in the “now.” We constantly compare the present to the past in hopes that we can make better decisions in the future and avoid bad experiences.
It’s the belief that the future is already too far in the past that causes the downfall of our worldviews. We spend so much time in the now that we don’t have time to think about the past. It’s not that we have no time to think about the past, it’s just that we don’t have time to think about the past.
Time is relative. It always has been. Whether you’re spending your entire life working for your family, attending university, or going to a conference with your friends, the present is always more important than the past. But what we don’t realize is that the more we compare the past to the present, the more we lose sight of the future. The future is not just a future, it is a now.
So, if we look back at the past and compare it to the present and say, “This was the greatest time of my life,” all we can say is, “Okay, so I was never the greatest.
So, if we look back at the past and say, This was the greatest time of my life, all we can say is, Okay, so I was never the greatest. Well, we have to be able to compare the future to the present and see that the future is a now.
I’m not sure if the future is the same, but the past is certainly similar. The past was the greatest time of my life and the present is the greatest time of my life. So, if we compare the entire 21st century, we get the same time. The present is the greatest time of my life and the past is the greatest time of my life. So, let’s say that one of these predictions is wrong, then we will be looking forward, not backward.
