We don't give the future enough credit

Sep 17, 2006 20:07

We create something that doesn't exist i.e. "the future" and then limit ourselves in the present to it. If it does not exist then it is absolutely anything or better said if it does exist then it has the potential of being absolutely anything. In many occasions, as creatures of habit, we become blind to the countless possibilities outside of our current lives, sitting idle in diluted water. Believing that we are stuck to a system. We let ourselves stay in situations because we dont know what else could be, since this is what we have created and we have control of. We see what we have created and feel we have done all possible to make it be the best situation.
Sometimes an assumption is made that if things are of one manner and have been dwelling in such a state for a period of time that quite possibly other options do not exist and we have to work with "reality". This means that one overlooks what is highly probable from one day to the next as something that is highly unlikely or even impossible, and therefore missing possibilities and remaining idle, whether it be because of complacency, fear, or ignorance.
How can something that does not exist limit us now? How can something that people create be something that is shaping people now? Still, we would find that life has carried us through extremities and shallow curves to bring us to the present we find ourselves stuck in. the outlook is deceiving.
So how far could we really travel in life if we stretched the imagination, acknowledging a future that isnt written yet and became as light as a feather for growth to occur at any time?
