Why Is Everyone...? Why Does Everyone...?

No Guarantee

Why is everyone so concerned about the future? There are so many more immediate things to fear, recognize-or perhaps revel in.

I find myself more often than not, focusing on the former.

Is the chicken for dinner undercooked?

Is this pain in my neck a strained muscle?

Is it safe to shower, or will I slip?

Is this ladder wobbling beneath me?

Is that thunder getting louder; lightning getting closer?

Is that car moving faster, ignoring the yield sign?

Is my left arm going numb?

Why is everyone so concerned about the future, when we are never guaranteed one, to begin with?
