Less Than A Second Away

Part of life is being clueless about the future. We are constrained with the information of the past. But despite all these, man never got tired of having a hunch of what might happen in the future.

Even before the Stonehenge's creation in Europe to the time of advanced satellites orbiting the Earth and Solar System, humans already witnessed a great passion. This passion recognized Michel "Nostradamus" de Notradame and other great seers of time. Fascination and enthusiasm for high-tech gadgets, also, reflect people's desire too know what will happen next.

We have tried many ways to predict the future. We calculated the cosmos, used cards and even utilized mirrors, candles and other household items just to take peek in the beyond, and then we gaze at the impending as something mysterious.

Religion and Science has to say something about it.

Religion tells us that God has destiny for each of us. But we are also taught by them that we are the captain of our soul.

On the other hand, Science also shares its zeal with the impending pages of tomorrow to be unfolded. Being more systematic, calculated and documented, our technology now tries to prophesize possible destinations of our world; Science teaches to analyze, theorize, experiment then conclude.

But as Science tries to be safe, some people from metaphysics deny the fact there is future; it is concentrated in the present. "There is no past, present and future," said famous Albert Einstein. These are just for linear convenience. Everything we are, we were and we will be in this and other dimensions, WE ARE HERE AND NOW. So, we are what, when and where we think we are!

Or actually, that's just all we can do. Or probably, it is not easy to say it but future knows if I'm wrong about what I told earlier. We could guess and predict all we want but the outcome may totally be different from our expectations or conclusions.

Most of the time, the future is incomprehensible. Something we could not grasp, yet, it is just -- less than a second away
