2012: End of the World

(Everything that has a beginning, has an end.)

I never believed the rumors regarding the ultimate end of the world this upcoming December 21st, 2012. After all the other past dates that mankind have announced about the final day our world, but never really took place at all, I've sort of come to a realization that we can never really say right now when our world will end. And if ever it came the time that we were in fact, faced with a disaster we cannot avoid at all, humankind will all be clearly aware of it and we'll see how things would turn out knowing that we are living our days towards an inevitable destruction.

Not that I dismiss all the findings and evidences that experts have discovered and deciphered regarding the end of the world. No. Not at all. I'm sure they know what they're doing and there might be a solid basis for the findings and information they chose to disclose. However, I just can't get over the fact that one of us, based on some difficult to translate artifacts, would actually vulgarly announce the end of the world to all of us. I would need a more scientific evidence or proof to these claims before I really start believing.
This time, we were supposedly faced with a sort of polar shift that would alter the Earth's usual behaviour. Understandable. And it makes sense on a scientific stand point. However, it is now the 12th of December and we are yet to find clear indications of changes in the Earth's normal functions. Unless there are events that are already taking place that we are not aware of. But my best guess is if there was something terribly wrong, we will be sure to witness it first hand within our environment. Though, I understand that we still have a couple of more days before the alleged date destroys us all. Perhaps if there really is truth to this end they speak of, we'll soon experience some phenomena involving the natural environment. I am no expert is sucvh matters and I can only provide an opinion based on my own observations and beliefs. Of course, it's not like I look forward to such an end. I'm sure everyone can share my feelings about not having to witness the ultimate destruction of our planet and the living things inhabiting it.

Quite fascinating these topics are though. I've watched a handful of videos on YouTube that tackled the subject of world destruction. Some notions are quite interesting and compelling. While some of them just seemed far fetched and ridiculous to me. I'm not even touching this matter on a religious level. All I know is, based on my own religion, the world will never be once again destroyed by the hands of God. But there is this thing we call the Rapture. It's the closest thing I know to a world end, like I mentioned earlier, based on my religion of upbringing. I do not necessarily believe this idea whole-heartedly, but I also do not dismiss the notion of this upcoming religious event. If anything, I'm just one that waits and see what will happen and do his best to prepare or face it when the time comes.

But what if the world was really to end in a few days. One can ask him or herself a question: have I lived my life? And my answer is no. Not at all. Though I may not have experienced everything I wished to have gone through and achieved the things I wished to have accomplished, I can die and feel fine with it. I have lived a good life being the nice person as I can be. Of course, I'm not perfect and nobody really is. There are things I wish I could change and aspects of my life I would prefer to improve. But in the end, if I was about to die in a few days because of such a catastrophic event, I wouldn't feel any regret. I just hope that I'd be able to die around the people I love and be able to say everything I wish to say to those that have made a great impact to my life. Just to let them know how I really feel before it's too late. Maybe this is a good opportunity for everyone to just do so what I have mentioned. Just go contact the people you know and tell them how much they meant to you and your life. It sounds like such a charming gesture to execute. And I don't see any harm in it.

In the end, destruction or not, nothing has changed. We still need to do our best living life as good and kind individuals, as much as possible. So that in the end, if we were to die, we'd be satisfied with the fact that we have lived a good life and have not caused anyone pain. I think it is the best way to live. It may not be the most ideal in terms of worldly status, but it is the easiest and most satisfying of all.
