I can't answer that question but if left to religion, the future will be stagnant and pointless other than worshiping some invisible and imaginary god.

Honestly, I unburdened myself from a majority of my stress, anxiety, and situational depression when I left religion. No longer was a worried about what might happen to me AFTER I die. I started actually living in reality, and experiencing life, without the fear that I "might" upset my absentee landlord.
I still suffer from depression, but thats biology, not situational.

well, thats why there is religion partly and partly to dominate and rule the masses. trust me I have thought a few times in my life about the subject of dying and been scared shitless. there are two things however you must think of. one is you can't do fuck all about it so why worry and two is you really won't care after woulds because it will feel like it did before you existed or while you were under a general anaesthetic. like being asleep without dreaming.

No, I suffered from depression due to a chemical imbalance in my brain. Stroke took care of that. I don't see what one has to do with the other. I am very hopeful for the future. Because I believe in the goodness of humanity.
