So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future？ Here are two reasons. First， unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history， we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live because we are careless or greedy or quarrelsome， our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuses for us.

Second， by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future， we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example， if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming， we can think of trying it now. So set your imagination free when you think about the future.
