21 December 2012

                     - The Doomsday Conspiracy

Is the world really going to end on 21st December 2012? This is perhaps the most frequently asked question today. The short answer is most likely no.

What you all think about it? So is that true the Armageddon is already on its way? Or still have chances to survive? Or are you preparing yourself in advance to survive the so-called end of the world?

It was not very long that we came across this supposed significance of this date - the last day of the calendar of the Ancient Mayans. Apparently yes, they did really a good calendar system. But they did not predict the end of the world or any disaster coming. Personally it just seemed obvious that the Mayans did not have any calendar system beyond 21st December 2012. Well, it is true because they had to stop somewhere and they probably hadn't worked it out before their civilization came to an end. After all they are humans too and humans cannot predict what comes next, but only God. These doomsday predictions are only a modern hoax. Some suggest that the date marks the end of the world or a similar catastrophe while others say it was the date for the beginning of the new era. Oh, it is pretty skeptical.

Well, I see these time lapse are no more the end of the world than the winter is the end of the seasons. After the winter there will be yet another spring. At the end of winter everything looks dead. But with the first ray of the sun, everything becomes rejuvenated and new life springs up all over the planet. Just like the end of winter means the beginning of a new spring, there will be a new beginning of era and everything in the universe will be rejuvenated again. Like a new day, a new beginning. Life is a cycle. So does our planet. But we can also put it the other way… everything that lives should meet its death. In that way, we can presume the very much alive world is still there waiting to meet its end.

Anyway, whatever we assume, I believe only God (if you don’t believe in God, count on whatever you believe in) knows when and how to end the living, just like He created it. We can also take it this way that the beginning of the ‘end’ may start on the 21st. But if you still believe the apocalypse, for what are you studying? Why are you going for jobs? What’s the point of earning more money and buying the stuff we need? After all, the end is not far. See, survival does matter. Everyone wants not the death even though we are aware we will meet it one day. But are we ready for it?

Ok, long story cut short, the world will not end on 21.12.2012. And if it does, well, you can’t catch me… And I have read this one liner somewhere, and so is the moral of the story, either the world will end in 2 weeks or the rumor will… Whatever comes, May we all live good and in peace. J
