When did the future switch from being a promise to being a threat? Reflect on the quotation.

Time is considered as the most precious of all the things in the universe. Future is an inevitable
consequence of all the things that have happened in the past and present. As man has evolved from a
single celled organism to the present highly intelligent being, he now has the potential to shape the
future of earth. Economic developments, competitions between countries, border disputes and modern
warfare developments can be said as some of the achievements of man from the 19th century. But despite
these developments, the threat of self-destruction within human populations and the ecology as a whole
has increased. Has it been the product of humans greediness for power and money? The value for
money and power has increased over the 20th and 21 century, so much so that the human lives are not
valued at all. Wars between countries and within have increased over the decades. Our future looks more
bleak and uncertain even with all the developments in science and technology.
