Despite the technological progress humanity has made, I often find myself thinking about what our future is, and more specifically the fact that I won’t be here to see it. It’s deeply disheartening. Yes, life now is better than, more or less, any period in the past, but there’s so much more we could do, so much we could discover, things we could create…I want to be here for it, and I won’t be. How do I get over this silly feeling that I was somehow born too early? I recognize even getting to exist is awesome, and I’m grateful for that…yet still I find myself wondering what will humanity be doing in 100 years? 250? 500? Will we even be around at that point?
Edit: Based on the responses it appears I was being a bit too optimistic. Interesting to think about I suppose.
