you could be hit by a truck tomorow, then what good your planning, saving etc?
you have no control over the future, your existence is temporal, happiness, sadness, wealth, will come and go, even the most "powerful" men on the planet are not immune from this. cancer is a good one, brain aneurysms and appendicitis are others. little things that noone can defend against, god's lightswitch on your existence, if you will.
not to say you shouldn't strive to make your future more positive, but getting hung up on things that may or may never eventuate is pointless.
While I agree that no-one knows whether he will even wake up in the morning, (every morning I wake up I say, "So far so good!"), we are naturally interested in our future and in planning for it and even dreaming about it.
Assuming we do survive each day, our choices re: everything, does affect our future life. "Time and unforseen occurance" affect us all, regardless of status or anything else, and we cannot guarantee we will do this or that, that is the nature of life as we know it.
We go to school, we take apprenticeships, we consider our vocation, and so on, all affecting our future life. "The best laid plans..." does not discount that we do make plans in the first place. Sitting back and doing nothing, waiting to die by some unforseen occurance is wasteful, infulfilling and dead boring!
You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!
