As far as some people are concerned, the future is just an excuse to put off problems that they're too lazy or scared to fix in the present. When they don't have the guts to face something, they leave it for some other time and before you know it, it's become somebody else's problem to deal with.
It doesn't seem like it would be that big an issue at first. It could be something simple, like an equation you put off; later it turns out that somebody else's experiment has blown up because that formula was a missing piece they didn't have yet. Although that might be important personally, it doesn't really have much of an impact on the whole future.
But then there's the problems that do affect everyone and everything: Things that cause the planet to die. The bigger the problem, the more people just want to run from it. Things like that are too big to handle, so they just bury it, hide it away, and forget about it--and if someone comes along one day after they're gone and finds it again, then it's not their problem anymore. It's the future's problem.
Sometimes we realize we can't keep running. Maybe there's nowhere left to run, or going to be nobody else to solve it for you later. It's hard and it's painful, but dealing with it now instead of looking away and letting it get worse is the best choice.
In the end, even a difficult future is better than no future at all.

[The device is on, though she's just quiet and contemplative for a moment after writing her thoughts out.]
Isn't it kind of odd to write about the future in a place where time doesn't really pass? Not as we normally know it, anyway.
[Another long pause. Replacing one convenient technology with another may just be the same as replacing one problem with another. Will it all just happen all over again?
Rita looks like she really wants to say something as she fidgets a bit, but even after what she wrote, there are some things she doesn't want to face right away, either. Eventually, she sighs and glares at the device as though it's at fault, then ends the feed.]

[I've got a couple like that too T_T (though not on endgame, just...wherever I got stuck in a long and frustrating area I couldn't be bothered to try again.)]
{ voice; }
[ XD Thankfully I've not been stuck thanks to gamefaqs. I just... get bored sometimes and get distracted by shinies! ]
{ voice; }
[Sooo understandable. XD But it was the reason I haven't gone back to Odin Sphere. The level I was on was pretty long and difficult on its own, then add the terrible lag the game's got. I don't wanna do it again...^^;]
{ voice; }
[ Eeh. I heard Odin Sphere was really hard ;; And do you have an older PS2? ]
{ voice; }
[It...definitely was. Lag just made it worse. T_T My PS2 is newer-ish, I think--I got it a few years after they came out. The game just couldn't handle its own graphics. XP]
{ voice; }
[ So it's a fat? :D The slim is slightly faster on newer games... ]
{ voice; }
We didn't kill your stupid tree, either!
[It is! Though I didn't know that about the slim. Ah well, mine works well enough that I don't need to replace it for the one game. I still have lots of other shinies~ XD]
{ voice; }
[ shrug. ]
[ ;; I had to replace mine since mine is pushing 8 years. It still works but.. ;; ]
{ voice; }
[Ohh, yes. Mine's actually...probably about that old now, too.]
{ voice; }
[ ...yeaaah ;_; They're slower than the newer ones :( ]
{ voice; }
[Sadness. D:]
{ voice; }
[ But hey, new PS2 is okay! I still have a huge backlog of PS2 games... ]
{ voice; }
[True. XD PS2 had awesome RPGs! I've still got Rogue Galaxy to try out, too.]
{ voice; }
[ I heard about that! The voice acting is good. It can get pretty bland at parts though, is what reviews said, so it's not very high on my play list... ]
{ voice; }
[Ha. XD I don't remember much of what I read about its reviews--that it was fun but not too deep, something like that? Anyway, it was only $15, so I picked it up. What's on your list?]
{ voice; }
[ A... lot. :( I think, I guess... I have Little King Story, Persona 3, Resonance of Fate and some replays on the top of that list right now though, I guess. ]
{ voice; }
[Yep, that's quitea few. XD Though that reminds me, I was interested in picking up Persona 3, too.]
{ voice; }
[ Get Persona 3 Fes. :) Or if you have a PSP, wait for P3P. :D ]
{ voice; }
[So Fes is the whole game plus extras, then? No PSP sadly...newest handheld is still a GBA. XD;]
{ voice; }
[ Yeah. It's updated. :D P3P has moar extras though and a better AI... ]
{ voice; }
[Nice! That would make it tempting if I had the system.]
{ voice; }
[ One day! One day! :D ...this is what I tell myself for stuuuff I can't haave ;; ]
{ voice; }
{ voice; }
[ Late reply is late. And grab bag curse is memory theater so :D ]
