My education (same graduating class as bagster, just the Midwest campus) informed me that Life is dynamic but we only live in the here and now. We learn from history (actually, from observing the actions and mistakes of others and ourselves) but we cannot adapt or change that of which we know nothing (”the future” - scare quotes intended).
So, yes, life is dynamic but that dynamic is not subject to our whims or efforts. Trust The Plan.
Time keeps flowing...like a river.
