Will it be a Disney cruise or Atlantis? Either way, I'm not screwed.
Quote:The future doesn't exist yet, therefore it can't be the cause of any action you take today. Once new information is known, you can then adjust your actions accordingly.The future does exist. It just hasn't occurred, yet. I'm going to die. It hasn't happened, but it is a certainty it will at some point. I have a will and advance directives because I have planned for the future even though it has yet to occur. What happens after I'm dead doesn't affect me at all. If I don't leave a will I'm certainly not screwed.
