The future is the most important myth ever created.

The future is a figment of our imagination.

We can never see the future.  We can never be in the future.  We can never directly experience the future.  The future is based on the present and the results of our expectations.  Therefore, we experience the future indirectly.  We see whether our dreams have come true or our prayers have been answered.  This is our one connection to the future.

But, the future plays an enormous role in the lives of each and every human on earth.  The future gives us something on which to anchor our hopes and dreams, our fears and expectations.  This is its fundamental importance.

We all set certain expectations in our minds as to what will transpire in the future.  If we don’t know a specific date, we at least know a general time period in which certain events are likely to occur.  And we must be ready.  The future forces us to be prepared for what we are expecting.  The future forces us to move forward.

The future is a myth.  But it is a myth that makes the world go round.  And for this reason, the future is the most important myth ever created.
