Questions..... and answers

Tomorrow would be the last day of his current life, he thought, as he finished his day of work and got ready to go home... his wife would be waiting for him, they had decided to celebrate the night, not by hosting a huge party, but in each other's company.. before he left, he made sure he had passed on all his responsibilities to his colleagues...
he drove slowly, as though savouring each moment, for he didnt know if he would be seeing these sights again... well, he could know if he chose to, but he liked it this way... he shifted his thoughts, for these thoughts were for later in the night...
she was waiting for him, wearing the dress he loved to see her in... she smiled at him, a smile with a feeling he couldn't place... strange, for though he couldn't place it, he knew exactly what she was feeling.. no, it was not sadness, death was an inevitability they were all taught to accept... dinner was everything that he loved, and finally it was time for the one thing he had been postponing... he took out their box, the one branded 'lifefiles'...
it was programmed to accept only his and his wife's unique codes, he adjusted the controls so he could see his life the next day.... as the images flicked across the screen, he got to know that he would be dying on the way to work.. he had always hated the turn in the tunnel just before his office.. his wife was watching too, and again he could sense the strange feeling in both of them...a lot of people saw these images early in their life, for the day of death was given to you on the day you were born, along with your unique code, so you could access 'lifefiles' anytime you wished...
but to know your past and future lives, special permission was required from the authorities...a long time ago, people had tried to play around with their death situation, like not being at the place of death, but they realised that it led to unnecessary complications, and they died anyway,so gradually people stopped the fiddling and accepted the facts... the same way they had accepted the presence of a superior power a longer time ago... accepted it, when the power had started direct communication to them, at a time when humanity was its worst, with its continuous obsession for others, within the species and without..
well, times were different now, for after getting convinced that humanity was behaving itself,the power had told them the secrets of life and death... he also told them that he had revealed it to their ancestors aeons ago, but the knowledge had got lost as time passed...he wondered about his ancestors, how would it have been to wonder about the cycles of life and death, not knowing when you would die... to wonder about your existence and its meaning... all of which was impossible these days, for you knew the answers and the questions already... he wondered what was better, not knowing the answers or knowing them and not being able to do anything about them.... both of them were strange feelings...
until next time, whats the question??
