$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('ReverseEngineer', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('outcast', 'T')here is no such thing as a "futureless time", there will always be a future.
If a tree falls in the forest and there is no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?
If there is no one around to observe the future, is there a future?
Time only exists from the reference point of the observer, so without the observer, there is no future, no past or present either. How long is a millenia with nobody counting the minutes?
Your particular future at least in the world of matter depends on your staying alive, so if you see impending death, in this sense you as an individual have no future. Similarly, you could see impending death for your children, and realize they have no future either.
Of course there is a future beyond the world of matter, beyond the world of energy and gravity; of time and space. Its out there just beyond what you can touch, just beyond the range of your hearing and just beyond the edge of the horizon you see. You just have to open your mind to it, and you will feel it in your bones.
See you on the Other Side.
Reverse Engineer
See you there.
