Fear of the unknown is a terribly hopeless feeling. Even the best foresight cannot predict with one hundred percent accuracy events yet to pass. Despite the fear that typically accompanies the future, we do have an ally that can provide a measure of peace: hope. As long as hope exists fear cannot conquer and control. However, if nothing is unknown (i.e., everything is known) neither fear nor hope exist, but knowledge.
To mortals in the current universe, dimension and condition we have a knowledge of past and present, though the future still eludes us and, hence, fear and hope persist. If you could know the future would you want to? Would you be willing to give up fear and hope for knowledge?
