Need to Know

What is the human need to know the future? Is it possible to accept not knowing the future, and still be comfortable with the idea that everything will be okay? I think it is possible as long as fear is isolated into what intentions are spreading the message that knowing the future is possible. Fear is the single most emotion sold onto people by those wishing to take financial and political advantage of the trepidation that human beings have for not living a "secure" life. Arguments progress from being taking advantage of by others if you let your culture be abused by indifference to issues. It probably would be safe to say that the real danger is allowing an exaggerated sense of fear dictate individual decisions. Thus, allowing people in and out of the culture to abuse the unreality of that fear. The daily headlines are not reality in a wholistic sense.
