My predictions for the Fuuuuuuture...
I am going to take a moment today to write down what I think the future will be like. Here is my thought process.
Right now is the future compared to what I just typed. Is it really worth thinking about the distant future if I am not going to be in it. But then what about my children and their children, I want their life to be just as amazing and free and challenging as mine has been.
It will be interesting to see what will be new in the world by the time I'm 80 though for some reason I feel like I'm not going to live that long. Hmmmm. Thats kind of gloomy. Nope I'm going to live to be 100 and then I'm going to pull the plug on myself because there is no point in living if you can't LIVE. Just kidding. I'd probably spend that time torturing my grandkids with purposfully boring stories about a goldfish just to see their reactions. He he he he beware future generations. I shall bore you to tears and then make you cry even more when the goldfish dies. Mwa ha ha ha ha!
Now onto a more serious note....
Eternal Truths- things that I believe will never change no matter what happens in the future....
Confusion- Its okay. Everyone will be confused at one point or another. Its incurable. Ha ha good luck.
Poor comunication between Men and Woman- no comment :)
Chocolate- it can only get better. ;) Maybe in the future they will be able to make chocolate seasonings to add to soups and deserts.
Hope- Always. Even if there is nothing left this will still be there.
Faith- God exsists. Its true. Even when it doesn't seem like it he will be there watching out for you cause he loves you. Trials are but a small moment that if endured bring you closer to him. He wants you to come home so why would he impede your growth. I think religion has its highs and lows in popularity from our society, but I don't think that it will ever be completely rejected.
Love- human beings are capable of great love. This doesn't necissarily have to be romantic love we're talking about either. Love of a friend or sibling or pet is just as real and maybe even more important.
subnote for this one--- Heartbreak- Sad but true. If there is the capacity for love then there is always a capacity for heartbreak. Possibly the worst part is if someone does something really wrong and it ends up hurting them. I hate watching people hurt themselves.
Charity- No matter how corrupted the world may become I believe that there will still be people in the world that understand this quality and will use it. The greatest joy in life will come from helping others, but good deeds shouldn't be done to make you feel good (it can start that way though). They should be built as a habit and should just happen. See a need fill the need. Make it a reaction.
Parenthood/Family- Even if the Family as an organization gets broken up or changed people will still cling to those they have a connection with. (I never thought, growing up, that I would miss my family this much. They truly do things for you emotionally that no other person can fill. I can talk to my Mom for an hour about absolutely nothing while she is cooking and I am doing homework and afterwards I feel like I had a huge breath of fresh air. Family is essential to well being.)
Thinking about the future- again no comment ha ha ha ha
I don't know. Brain cramp. Add to my list all the general things and emotions that will obviously be around as long as there are people in the world.
You know what! Even if mankind went extinct because of Aliens taking over the world I think that the Aliens would look back at what we have done and at least one would be impressed and implement some of our amazing qualities.
Movies and media always focus on how bad human kind is, how we've ruined our planet, started wars, hated each other, how we are impulsive and selfish. But you know what?! We are pretty dang awesome. Look at how many wars we've stopped, gardens we've created, love and relationships we've built that last for eons, and look at how kind and selfless we can be to each other. Look at what we have accomplished in the last couple of thousand years. We have built boats, cars, ipods, printed millions and millions of books, written a gagillion poems, loved and celebrated love, laughed, worked, created homes, helped save species, seen the bottom of the ocean, flew and etc. etc.
We are amazing and the best part is we learn from our mistakes and move forward in the best way we can. We are not perfect but our goal is to draw near unto it. I wish someone would make a movie about the world growing better not worse in the future. There will always be the bad but hopefully the good won't let it take reign of our future. We WILL solve the problems we create, and new problems will always arise, but we will solve them too and we will grow and learn in the process. That is the whole point of living, it is to learn and grow.
I'm tired now so I am going to go to bed. Goodnight world. Be a little bit better when I wake up. I look forward to greeting a better day.
p.s. Once upon a time there was a goldfish named Moscow. He was small and had a black stripe on his forhead. For hours on end he would swim around his trippy fish bowl. Swim swim swim *ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION LEE JR.* Swim swim swim and around his fish bowl he went........
