Finality refers to the condition or fact that things are finite or limited in space and time, i.e. that they have to finish, or it can refer to a conclusive/decisive act or utterance. However, there may be much uncertainty about the finality of a thing, condition or process. Thus Benjamin Franklin wrote in a letter to Jean-Baptiste Leroy in 1789 "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."
