A really thought provoking piece.
Hasn't it always been the case, though, that the true limit of our prediction is that death is always coming for us?
I find that somewhat reassuring in this bizarre world, that there is one thing we can know with certainty. It's also the prompt that inspires me to want more for my life, to desire the things I never thought possible - we don't have time to worry about the appropriateness of what we want because someday we're dying. I find the thought very freeing.
