    I actually don't worry about it. Everything that should happen, will happen.. All I can do is to enjoy good, even bad, things, that future will give me. I think that's all it's about.

    I really don't worry about the future too much. You just gotta do whatever it is you like to do. Good and bad things will happen. That's life for ya.

    What does worrying really accomplish excpet for shorting your life span? A positive mental attitude can also affect future events in a good way.

    Not worrying is a win win.

    I'm not sure I want to live here anymore... The future does not look promising right now with the hurricanes coming one after another... I'm not sure I can handle it anymore... I can see the future living here and I don''t like the view...

    i think about my future all the time. but i dont do anything to plan my future. i do what i do at the time, and if it affects my future well... hopefully i learn from it ( which i prolly wont) and i can fix it or something. that idea backfires all the time but i like it better than planning things out
    im silly :p

    hmmm i'm torn
    sometimes i do when i know that i havent had my share of hurt and pain
    that means i'm bound to, it just hasnt happen yet. so, in that sense, i worry about the future.
    and i do worry about death. just not existing anymore. could happen at any minute.
    but then that very thought makes me realise that theres no point in worry about the future, because in the end it wont matter.

    I hear all of that...
    Sometimes I'll watch the news or just walk and hear people talk about things, act the way they act....it's becoming a real sad, tragic world out there.
    I don't really worry about my future...hell, I can take care of myself well enough...but I really worry about younger kids for when they grow up.
    I mean, by the time I'm getting on in years things are going to be awful...I can only imagine how it'll be for our grandkids.

    This is the kind of thing that really makes me want to just drop everything and you know, go...pick up and wander the world, just like my gypsy blood intends...just forget all the rigamaroll of life and it's deadlines and duties, because it seems like not much is worth it anymore

    Grim shares my concern regarding our kids. I don't worry about my future but can't imagine how much more out of control it will get for my childrens kids. It makes me sad to think about it.

    "ENJOY YOUR JOURNEY"

    How does this worrying jive with your sig. I'm sure every generation felt the same way. And are we that bad. Well, yes, but still I'm sure were do for a conservative turn from our teens. Everyhting comes in a cycle. Once a generation gets too out of control, the next generation will settle down. If it didn't happen that way, humaity would be gone a long time ago...

    Wynter, I am 49 and still don't know what I "fecking" want to do. My problem is that what I want to do changes once I have done it. But I don't worry about the future. There is so little time to enjoy the present and the past slips away too quickly to grasp on with any certainty that the future will just have to hold on until I get there...

    Well, we had to pick a career in english and do a presentation on it and I was thinking of free-lance journalism. Believe me its a change because all my friends want to be scienctists.

    yes, it's pretty scarry sometimes here on earth with all the tornados, hurricanes, world hunger and global warming. i just wish people would wake up and realize the world is dying and decide to do something about it. i feel that protesting, writing to congress, the president, world leaders and refusing to allow them to destroy our earth is the only way to go. i saw so much done in the 60's and 70's with protesting and getting involved and doing something to change the world.

    Change begins with you. Recycle, don't throw things out your car window, reuse grocerie sacks, drive less and walk or bycicle more. No one is going to change the world for us...not the president or politicians or religous figures...WE have to change and then change the people around us. If one person changes and then modifies the behavior of just one more person their power is doubled. If the change one more person each then the power is quadrupled. But it has to start with in yourself. That was the lesson from the 60's and early 70's. I know becasue I was there. YOU are a product of mother earth and either YOU can help kill her or YOU can be worthy of her but it takes personal action and a desire to change WHAT YOU DO. I despise those who tell us about the evils of others and all the while drive SUV's and travel around in their personal jets...they are worse than the other polluters because they know better.

    I'm a Capricorn Jew- it's just my nature to worry about the future.

    I've planned out what I want in my life and sure, I know it will change, but it's always nice to be able to look forward to something and make goals. And while I'm at it, I try to make the biggest mark on the world that I can. I've gotten a bunch of previously politically apathetic kids, both liberal and conservative, to go after the big construction businesses that pay illegal immigrants under the table. You'd be amazed at what you can accomplish when you just speak up.

    is equal to the love
    you make

    Yes, I am worried about the future. I think everyone should be. Sometimes, I feel afriad to face it. I'm the type of person that has wonderful past memories and wish so much that I could just relive them once more.
