Whether you're a believer or not, don't you ever think that the day when everything ends? That everything you know would be gone?
In two days, the Mayan calendar supposedly indicates the end of civilization as we know it. Nostradamus says so, too but didn't day when though.
There are many who think of the end days as: a moment where we prepare and muster any survival instincts we have and strive to live in a post-apocalyptic world; and the days where we live to the fullest, go on with our everyday lives, and live life as it is. Those days are when humanity will be thoroughly tested.
But enough of that crap. No more doom and gloom, and trying to drive yourself crazy with the endless possibilities of the future. I for one am a little skeptic of the 12/21/12 prophecy. If there was a catastrophic disaster that would wipe out humanity, shouldn't there be at least warning signs that would signal the end? Aside form global warming and the effects of that, of course. I mean, if it was true, then maybe, in my opinion, the end would only happen to a certain few, like those past disasters that was supposedly predicted by Nostradamus or some other guy who thought that day was the end. Its that or that the events in Day After Tomorrow movie would happen; they're spontaneous and happened within a matter of weeks. Or maybe some super fast comet big enough to cause massive extinction would hit earth so fast that we have only months to prepare like in Armageddon.
The Dec 21 day is a winter solstice, meaning that there would be a very long night then. So, what do you think would happen? Lunar eclipse signaling something terrifying would happen? Plagues worst than the Black Plague? Waves pulled by the moon, bigger that the tallest mountain in the world? A massive collision with another planet? Solar flares that would burn us to a crisp? Or maybe, a more practical reason; the collapse of the market economy and whatnot. Whatever it is, more and more people who believe in this grow more panicky with each day. Mass hysteria would ensue probably on the day before the end. And chaos around the globe cause by people who're paranoid about the end would probably happen, too. Maybe. Probably.
There are people out there who prep for the worst, avid preppers who stockpile food, weapons and whatnot in order to survive a post-apocalyptic world. Though I kind of think they're slightly paranoid, but for a good reason, I would guess. Because when the end really comes, they'll be the ones who would probably survive longer; depends on the the survival equipment they have, the shelter they live in and the like. I salute their efforts, though I'm still doubtful that some of their causes for their prepping would come to past.
So, for the believers out there, make your preparations, spend time with your loved ones because hey, this might be your last days with them. On the other hand, for the non-believers, move on, but live your life to he fullest. You never know when you will die , so I think its best to spend it the best way you can. :))
You know, we should use this opportunity to make peace with those we don't get along with and find unity with other people. I mean, Christmas is nearing and it time to celebrate in joy and the birth of Christ. Not wallow in prepping. We'll do whatever it takes when the time comes; we'll move into action when we get there. Or when its staring at us in the face.
