Future Theme, Brian Beholds

The future is time that has yet to be, that is still to come. Since it hasn’t happened yet, it is of an unknown quality. We can’t help but think a great deal about the future.

Key Concepts

Afterlife is the next stage in the life cycle after physical death. People, things and creative ideas exist in some form after they are no longer alive.

A consequence is the result that naturally follows from an action; the result depends on the action that was taken. We all have the freedom of choice but must face the results of those choices.

. The effect is the result, the way in which something influences something else.

A history is a story narrative of events that have taken place over time.

Infinity has no boundaries or limits; it is so large as to be immeasurable.

Karma is the sum and consequences of a person’s actions throughout his/her existence.

A possibility is something that can happen. It is an unknown because it may or may not happen.

Something that can exist or be done has potential. This is possibility in its purest form. When we know something can happen, we can choose to put our energy toward or against it.

Projection is pushing something outward or forward, away from oneself. Assuming that someone else has the same reaction or desires that you do.

Risk is the possibility of suffering harm or loss. The factors that could cause danger or injury.

The ultimate is the most fundamental example. It completes a series or process. The final, conclusive action on a topic.

McCarthy, Cormac.(2006). The Road. New York: Knopf.  2007 Pulitzer Prize Winner for Fiction Everything in The Road is reduced to the minimum; the language and writing style are stripped along with the lives of the characters. No linguistic decoration or extraneous description, luxury or sense of comfort. No neat tidy chapters or markers to tell
