How Do You Rate The Future

How Do You Rate The Future

From one to ten I give the future a ten. I'm not just talking about my future; I'm talking about the world's future. At seventy one my future is what I can make of it. That means what I can control not what I can't control.

I can't control my health, but I can do things to minimize the damage. In the end we all die of something. Don't believe the bullshit that some of us will die of old age. The fact is we will all die of something - heart disease, Cancer, car accident, etc. etc. etc. The older we get the chance of something killing us is assured.

Therefore, I choose to focus on the things I can control. The most important one is my happiness. I can choose to continue loving life even if my bad back gets worse. I can choose to continue loving life even if I get Cancer. I can choose to continue loving life even if I get too old to do all the things I can do today.

The thing that makes the future so wonderful is that technology will enable me to do whatever I want to do as long as my brain is working. You see, I can travel using virtual reality even if I physically can't be there. You see, in the future I will be able to control many things in my life just from my thoughts. 

The goal is to live long enough so that technology can enable me to be happy, healthy with quality of life for more years than a future without technology. I guess I won't live long enough to see all the wonderful things technology will bring me, but please believe me the world will benefit from it.

I believe technology will cure many of the life threatening diseases that exist today and tomorrow. I believe technology will enable us to lose a limb and replace it with one that is the same as the one we lost. I believe technology will eliminate war. 

Many people only see problems in the future. They see technology as a threat not a hope (negative energy begets negative energy - positive energy begets positive energy). They don't see their children and their children's children living a much better life then they live. They want that, but they don't see it.

I say, if you don't give the future at least an eight, you're not a happy person. I say, if you give the future a two, you've lost hope and are depressed. I say, if you give the future a five, you're still trying to figure out your life.

We're all faced with barriers. The old saying: life's a bitch and then you die," is a shit way to live your life. Starting today, write down your rating of the future. I say, if you want to be happy for the rest of your life write down;

8, 9 or 10
