Once again there is a rumour going around about the end of the world. Apparently, some claim that according to interpretations of the Mayan calendar it will happen on the 21st of December 2012…. Well…. Haven’t we heard this one before?
There were many similar scares in the past like the Y2K bug for example…
For some reason people seem to think that the end of the world will happen suddenly, one big bang, a planet crushing into the Earth, a blackout, solar flares, radiation or some other divine intervention and poof….. we are no more!
Well I think they are all wrong. I think the end of the world is actually already here, it has already started!
It is much more subtle and it is happening right now.
Take global warming, and thinning of the ozone layer, melting of the ice in Arctic, natural disasters like the tsunami, earthquakes, tornadoes, erupting volcanoes, superstorms and I could go on…
Then there is the Global economy, or the collapse of it, recession, hunger, poverty...
Wars, terrorists attacks..... or senseless crimes, like people taking a gun and going to a shooting spree- entering schools or churches and shooting anyone who comes in their way. There were quite a few of them in the past few years all over the world….. most of them in the USA, a couple in Finland, Denmark, and the most shocking - the Norway massacre, where Anders Breivik killed 77 youngsters.
Then there’s the celebrities killing their partners for whatever reason.... like just recently the NFL player Jovan Belcher shooting his girlfriend Kasandra Perkins...
And the list can go on and on....
The end of the world is here, this is it and we are the ones doing it!!
But we could stop it too!! If finally the human race realized that we all are the same, and we should all work together.
