Chill out people! Free will is an illusion, we have no control whatsoever on what's gonna happen. The only thing you can do is to hope for the best and try to enjoy the ride as much as you can. If you're incredibly lucky it will last 100+ years, if not it may be much much shorter. People tend to take everything for granted: even 5 minutes of life are a precious gift, you should be extremely grateful for every additional minute you get. I don't see the point in wasting this precious time on worrying on what may or may not happen, especially since we don't have any control over it. When is the last time you appreciated the amazing fact that you can actually see, hear, touch, smell, and taste this incredible universe we live in? Even if you're missing one ore more senses, try not to take for granted the ones you have, they're an incredible privilege. And stop fucking hating each other, what's the point? You're making life worse for everyone, yourself included. I think we have the potential to do much much better as a species, if only you people were willing to get your heads out of your asses, tone down your ego and forget idiotic things like religion, nationalism, racism and more that are doing an excellent job in making life miserable for everyone.

As money to your list of things to forget. You say don't take the experience of reality for granted, well then you ought to see others in our shared existence have successfully shaped the world to their will.

  Yeah, I see that. But it doesn't necessarily have to be this way, and things can and will change. Besides, money is not everything: I'd bet many of those people are actually pretty miserable human beings.

yes John is right. Like when you are ill, because of some flew or bacterias invading your body. After you have passed days in bed or hospital, and you recover (hopefully). You feel better and much more appreciate your life. Because this illness could have killed you. However, we have no control.
