Do you know what’s going to happen tomorrow?

Well, you may have an idea of a general set of events or expected occurrences. The news media keeps us on alert so we can tune in, and our calendars attune us to where and when we need to make an appearance.

But beyond that, we can’t say with certainty that we know how things are going to work out.

The future is uncertain.

The past four years—and without doubt, the last year alone—have been fraught with the ups and downs of a reality TV show (admittedly, it has seemed like we were caught in the midst of one) as we’ve lived on edge.

But isn’t that the story of all history?

We don’t know how things are going to turn out for us, and neither did our ancestors.
