What lies ahead

The future is always unknown to us as it is very hard to determine. The future
isnt't exactly very arithmetic and maths orientated. You cant calculate the future,
and come up with a random figure that determines how your future will turn
out and see if it goes the way you want it. The future of our lives cannot be
determined by science. There are no relevant theories or experiments that can
determine our future. Its just not possible, and looking into the future just seems
to be a very pointless thing to do. Yes it is good to think about what to do in the
future and what is good for it but never good to expect how you want it to be.

Expectation is something that humans shouldnt adopt. You cant expect things to
go your way. You cant expect money and power to go your way. You cant expect
people to behave the way you want. Just dont expect anything! Expectation
definitely reduces joy as it disappoints more often than it does the opposite. When
we look into the future we tend to expect something to be like this or like that, but
what we dont realise is that we are just burdening ourselves with our thoughts and
in the long run create stress or maybe depression due to fear that what we expect
to be the worse comes true. But when it does come, we usually have a sigh of relief
as we always overestimate things and overeact when we try to predict the future.
So why go through all that stress for to begin with?

What is there to expect in the future? How will our futures turn out? In my opinion
the future means change. Everyday we go through indefinite change without fail. It
is just inevitable. So what kind of change do we go through? Is it a change for the better
or is it for the worst? Does the future look bright, sunny and filled with rainbows? Or
does the future seem dark, colourless, cold and bleak? Whatever it is in the future, I
feel it is best to leave it alone and enjoy the gift that God gives us day to day which
our present.

It just seems so depressing to look into the future if we expect it to be a bad one. When
we keep thinking about it we tend be stressed up or sad. So why go through all that pain
for? If we keep thinking about the lousy future ahead, how do we enjoy our present? So
is sadness something that is indefinite? In my opinion, sadness and happiness is always
in the short-run. There is no such thing as a happily ever after, those are based on
movies and stories that are meant to bring up the hopes of children, not us. This is because
in life we go through alot of obstacles where we will expect them to be coming in the future.

So why choose to be sad over what is about to come? Be happy for what is already here,
although it is only in the short-run, enjoy and savour the moments when we are happy.
In the future friends may leave, relationships may fail, you may move somewhere else,
people change and people die. So why worry about these when you can enjoy what is already
here. Dont take what you currently have for granted as it may all disappear and pass you by
in the future. Hold on to what you have and cherish them for as long as you can, as nothing
in this perfect world, not even diamonds last forever(thats bullshit). Dont live in the past
or the future, enjoy the present and live like there is no tomorrow...
