"the hours we pass with happy prospects in view, are more pleasing than those crowned with fruition. In the first case we cook the dish to our own appetite; in the latter nature cooks it for us."

'futurity'! intrigued to encounter this modern-seeming word in 1766 The Vicar of Wakefield by #OliverGoldsmith — "such as have been taught to deride religion, will laugh at one whose chief stores of comfort are drawn from futurity" — I find uses by #Chaucer, #Hobbes, #Shakespeare, Pope, etc #booksky
Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.
