“I have long considered it one of God's greatest mercies that the future is hidden from us. If it were not, life would surely be unbearable.”

Instead of causing us to remember the past like the old monuments, the new monuments seem to cause us to forget the future.
As we divest ourselves of once familiar physical objects - digitize and dematerialize - we approach a 'Star Trek' future in which everything can be accessed from the fourth dimension with a few clicks or terse audibles.
I'm not good at future planning. I don't plan at all. I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow. I don't have a day planner and I don't have a diary. I completely live in the now, not in the past, not in the future.
I never have plans for the future as you never know how things will turn out.
