The future is uncertain from "summary" of The Decline of the West by Oswald Spengler
The future, to those who are capable of thinking and feeling, is the most serious of all things. Its uncertainty is due to the fact that it is not yet, and so it is beyond our grasp. We can only infer what may lie ahead based on the movements and rhythms of the present. It is like a shadow that follows us, constantly changing and shifting with each step we take. The future is a realm of possibilities, where anything can happen. It is a blank canvas waiting to be painted upon by the actions and choices of individuals and societies. The course of history is determined by the decisions we make, the paths we choose to follow. We are like sailors on a vast ocean, guided only by the stars and the currents that flow beneath us. The uncertainty of the future is both a burden and a blessing. It fills us with anxiety and fear, but also with hope and excitement. It reminds us of our own mortality, of the fleeting nature of our existence. It teaches us to live in the present, to appreciate what we have before it is too late. We are all part of a grand tapestry that is constantly being woven and unraveled. Our lives are intertwined with those of others, shaping and reshaping the world in ways that we cannot fully comprehend. The future is a mystery that we can never fully solve, a puzzle with pieces that are constantly shifting and changing. In the end, the uncertainty of the future is what gives life its meaning and its purpose. It is what drives us to strive for something more, to reach for the stars and push beyond the boundaries of what we know. It is a reminder that we are all part of something greater than ourselves, something that transcends time and space.
