What comes to your mind when you think of the future?

Question

Do you see futuristic technology and dramatic economic progression? What would be the point of all of that?

When I picture the future, I see the youth suffering. They've no reason to live anymore. It is all meaningless. Finance will no longer be a problem because everyone has been gathering money for the future. After so many generations have gone by, the money will finally reach its peak. What then? They would all serve a meaningless existence. They would just go on living; trying to satisfy themselves with more and more earthly pleasures and external goods. Life will become so depressing. Everyone's lives will become the great depression. What if we find all the possible cures for every single disease? Where is that all going? Just for the greater good of man? What has man ever done for the entire world?

Basically: Human life is already meaningless enough right now. Does it really need to get much worse until we all realize it? And if so, is this the only way we'll realize it?

Answer 1

When I see the future, I see the world's collapse... Governments start making bad decisions, people are being affected, and slowly, people will start fighting for resources... Wars will then break out and everything will fall into dust... The root cause of all these is the basic nature of humanity... Humans are naturally savage and are always wanting to dominate others... Because of this nature humans will start crumbling into dust... As of now, humans are already tearing each other apart... It'll only be a matter of time before the world starts to die...

Answer 2

What would the present be like if everyone in the past thought as you do.

Humans have experience over ten thousand years of civilization. People have been "saving" for the future for generations. Why to you think that some of us still worry about our finances?

How is finding cures for diseases a bad thing? As little as fifty years ago, children died of polio. Tens of thousands died of smallpox. Whatever arguments about overpopulation you put forward, which of the many lives save would you justify in allowing to die by NOT curing these diseases? Perhaps yours? Or your parents?

At what point, in the last ten thousand years did life become meaningless? What's so special about the "future" that you expect this point had to wait for?

Answer 3

When I picture the future I see the truth. The truth will unfold, and when we are there where the truth unfolds, we will see that God does exists.

The reason why I see this is because I grew up seeking the truth. Now that I know who I am, I am greatful to be a part of
"I AM".

"You were not created to be my friend. You will be what you were created for. But untill then who are you.?"

Understand yourself.
In myself I see also with the eyes, and with the eyes of my heart and mind.
In the three there is only one who will make that choice.
It is the voice in you, your spirit.And who is your spirit?

Find the meaning of you, for yourself. Then look at the world.
But if you do not see the world differently, call me.

Answer 4

More light, more happiness.

You are right about the physical world, but remember, we are spiritual beings. It's unfortunate that the knowledge of how to increase the light is more or less ignored. A genuine spritual quest improves all aspects of life. But I do love to tell people about how to live a happier life. This resource explains the whole thing much better. (I am not speaking of religion)
