“People who go around with a life work are very dangerous to themselves on the First Dynamic, as an awful lot of attention has been wasted. If their life work is toward a finite goal, they’re going to—I’m just using this as an illustration of predicted futures. You predict that your future is going to end. Let’s state, ‘My life work is going to be this way,’ your future is going to end at an exact moment in time. Believe me, because all you’re doing is running on postulate, it does. It ends. Right there. It does just exactly what you said it’d do.
“The most appalling thing about life is that it is under such thorough control that it does practically anything you say it will. That’s really the appalling thing about life. It isn’t that life is ‘agin’ you. It’s that it’s too helpful.”
— L. Ron Hubbard
