A wise phrase. As they say, “Nothing is for certain, but death and taxes.” But that doesn’t mean we can’t start something now.
That’s why I’ve been preparing that funeral service for myself. I don’t know when my time is up, but I can complete this now and be rest assured that, whatever may happen, I know how my life’s final act will play out.
It is by no means an irrational fancy that, in a future existence, we shall look upon what we think our present existence, as a dream.
Edgar Allan Poe
There is no future
In England’s dreaming
Don’t be told what you want
Don’t be told what you need
There’s no future, no future,
No future for you
