The end of Earth, the end of us, and the end of the universe
Quote: Humanity is obsessed with history. I don’t know why, but for the most part we would much rather lose ourselves in reverie than contemplate the future. Even when we do think of the future, it’s nearly always constrained to our future, usually just a handful of years hence. It is a rare person indeed who thinks of 50 or 100 years in the future — but what about 1,000 years? Or a million years? Or a billion years?
Will humanity still exist? Will the Pyramids of Giza still exist? Will Earth or the Solar System exist? Source

This is talking about the future of our physical world, which supposedly had a beginning and will have an end. But millions of people believe we also have a soul and part of a spiritual world that had no beginning and therefore will have no end. When you think about that, the physical world is of no consequence for our future.
