So, another fundamentalist Christian crazy has gone down in hellacious fire and brimstone with regard to predicting the end of the world...for now. I mean, we're still here, more or less.
How many years have we as a species been foreseeing such end-of-game scenarios...anyone, anyone? Soooooo...a very long time. Seems that it's only a matter of time and space that someone will just have to be right, right?
Or, maybe they've been right all along. After all, somewhere on this earth, someone's world ends every minute of every day. It doesn't have to be a globe-wide catastrophic killer asteroid or volcanoes or tsunamis or nuclear holocaust that ends the world for someone. It could be the death of a loved one or a dream that would suffice to be counted as an end-of-the-world event. Who are we to judge, right?
What gets me about these soothsayers of doom is how easily people tend to follow them into the depths of beliefs. Are we that desperate? When the world ends, I'm thinking that we will not have much of a heads up on it, and we will not have much chance of surviving.
The hereafter is something that none of us really have any experience with, and that may be purposeful on the part of whoever (or whatever) is handling the joystick of the universe. Personally, I'm not a big believer of the either/or of heaven/hell. This is not based on any sudden insight or epiphany on my part, it's just that I have a feeling that we're much too complex a bunch -- and that includes the animals.
Anyway, for anyone who has felt their world has ended, I am truly sorry for that, and I wish you well. Don't give up on yourself or others. Take a breath in and slowly release it thinking of all the other people and places and things that make you smile.
