"TAKE TIME TO DELIBERATE; BUT WHEN THE TIME FOR ACTION ARRIVES, STOP THINKING AND GO IN." - NAPOLEON BONAPARTE

"The future is the indefinite time period after the present. Its arrival is considered inevitable due to the existence of time and the laws of physics. Due to the nature of the reality and the unavoidability of the future, everything that currently exists and will exist is temporary and will come to an end. The future and the concept eternity have been major subjects of philosophy, religion, and science and defining them non-controversially has consistently eluded the greatest of minds.It is the opposite of the past, and is the time after the present. In the Occidental view, which uses a linear conception of time, the future is the portion of the projected time line that is anticipated to occur. In special relativity the future is considered to be absolute future or the future light cone. In physics, time is considered to be the fourth dimension of the universe.

In the philosophy of time, presentism is the belief that only the present exists and the future and the past are unreal. Religions consider the future when they address issues such as karma, life after death, and eschatologies that study what the end of time and the end of the world will be. Religious figures have claimed to see into the future, such as prophets and diviners. Organized efforts to predict or forecast the future may have derived from observations by early man of heavenly objects.
Future studies, or futurology, is the science, art and practice of postulating possible futures. Modern practitioners stress the importance of alternative and plural futures, rather than one monolithic future, and the limitations of prediction and probability, versus the creation of possible and preferable futures.
In art and culture, the future was explored in several art movements and genres. The futurism art movement at the beginning of the 20th century explored every medium of art, including painting, sculpture, poetry, theatre, music, architecture and even gastronomy. Futurists had passionate loathing of ideas from the past, especially political and artistic traditions. Instead, they espoused a love of speed, technology, and violence. Futuristic music involved homage to, inclusion of, or imitation of machines. Futurism expanded to encompass other artistic domains and ultimately included industrial design, textiles, and architecture."
for me the future:
1. is an assemblage of wishes, wants and needs of the past and present reality.
2. is an element of time in which we fantasize and visualize of those listed on the top.
3. is an observatory where we can draw out something or literally make a loan out of nothing since we are not yet present in the upcoming instance.
the present has its own properties as well, some of which are my observations and are included but not limited to the following:
1. contains all the information both present and absent in the current and earlier period.
2. always available for everyone through waiting only that the main difference is that we, ourselves at current consciousness, are not in that instant.
3. has its own successions but susceptible to change upon making out a choice.
4. can be used as a tool to make DREAMING/GIVING ASSUMPTIONS and/or PRESUMPTIONS possible.
the future is a very rich state of mind. all information will come to pass, whichever event comes first determines its relativity from the current situation, and its rule of the thumb – “regardless an individual is ready or not”. it’s consistent characteristic makes it even more unique – variability. by the way, since it’s variable as always, everyone can program it otherwise it will choose its own path based on other circumstances at random.
