today we spoke about the concept of "futureS." It was really unexpected how philosophical the conversation became. I understood the idea behind the creation of "history", and thus the creation of the concept of "future," and I feel as though we, as individuals, can create alternative futures and thus creating a multitude of possibilities; but the idea of "creating" or having some control over our future is also a limiting state of mind. This is all a really broad concept, but I feel as though there would be some basic similarities in these concepts across cultural regions, based on each culture's belief system, morals, concept of what life really is, and "who" or "what" controls or does not control the fate of we as humans, spirits, or life energies.
it was interesting. sorry i was late.

Hi Virginia. Thanks for sharing these responses. Now, I'm curious about the philosophical dimension of our discussion on futures coming as a surprise. What did you have in mind instead?
