It is Not the End of the World

Drama is the number one word that I would utilize to sum up the attitude of the world when it comes to our current understanding of prophecies and predictions for the future.  We are now living in a world obsessed with the notion of destruction and global annihilation.  The main question to ask is ‘why’. Why are people so fascinated by the idea of their own downfall and destruction even though they are still living each day in their own survival? 

In this article I want to explore the concepts that are currently circumnavigating our information highway relating to past and future and to destruction and end times.  I want to highlight some important factors to take into consideration when accessing information and how people can themselves determine what is to be viewed as fact, fiction, or simply as an individual choice of a way to see their own reality.

The first concept I want to look at, the big one on a lot of people’s minds is that of the 2012 prophecies.  Not only are we obsessed with the notion that the world is going to end in 2012, but a lot of people are pressing the issue, individually hoping that soon the world is going to come to an end and that a great part of our whole civilization is going to die in the event.  Firstly I do not have to write anything without people already coming to their own conclusion on this topic, with asking the question of ‘why’.  Why would people even want to be obsessed with the thought of our whole civilization dying off in great mass?  Personally this does not figure into my own mind, why someone would even want to imagine such things to have the necessity to play out.  There is an important factor to take into consideration when accessing information surrounding prophesies and notions pertaining to the end of the world, and that relates to the fact that a lot of these notions are laying within a bed of fantasies created out of insubstantial information and facts that only hold themselves up based on choice of belief. 

I know that this might sound like a severe criticism on my part, however in this article I am going to highlight some of the factors that need to be taken into consideration before a person decides to delve into accepting these end times prophecies as facts.  My whole philosophy surrounds the concept that people need to take their life in their own hands through their own choices for belief.  This means that in this article I am not expecting that people take the information that I also give them as substantial knowledge, but to instead factor in as possibility that can at least be considered by choice or discarded if not deemed fitting to someone’s own choice for belief.  What I want to do in this article is to get people to think about possibility and what it really means, and to show how important it is to factor in understanding of past in future when it comes to reasoning a pathway for our future.
