2012 and the End of the World (Blog)

[Mr. Punch]

But what could it mean, "The end of the world"?

Is it the end of this civilization, all civilizations? The end of time or the end of Earth? The end of the Universe? It seems such a selfcentered babbling this "end of the world", repeated over and over through history based on contingent and manmade fictions. Get a shovel instead and start digging, there is work to be done!

There is a big and global crisis right now. But there is nothing new in that. Greed and fear are the only dependable constants, it seems. You can blame the rich kids on Wall Street but everybody played along and traded in their personal responsibility for... stuff.

I would love to see - and some parts of me long for - a shift in consciousness toward more solidarity and a reevaluation of our values, even though that will also be a purely temporary thing. History repeats itself and we move in cycles. Read Nietzsche indstead of this petty talk about "the endtimes".

...And I do appreciate your lighthearted take on the subject, Erin.

Chia, you're really in the right place. Read through Steve's articles and empower yourself. It's quite possible to earn a good living helping others. When you provide massive value, monetary compensation is the natural effect from that.

I didn't say someone should quit their job and be homeless. I said if you hate your job, find one you like instead of praying for the end of the world as an alternative.

That's actually not what you wrote, or I wouldn't have objected. Still, you've clarified with this much more sensible wording, so I'll leave it at that.

Maybe the work will grow on you, Chia.

Soooo, you're implying that I must have a job a hate and that's why I posted? Thanks for the snark, it's really helpful.

You are incorrect, by the way.

[Dan.Linehan]

Actually, I just wanted to make a pun based on your name.

Thank you Laura. I didn't get that he was making a Chia-pet joke.

Sadly I do not. It is wavy but not actually curly, so without getting a perm I'm out of luck on that one.

Why is it that about every ten years or so someone in the world decides they need to freak everyone out by saying they know when the worlds going to end? Does anyone truly know when it will end, or what the end really even means? I know there are some facts to take into consideration with the whole 2012 issue. Then again, even with some factual information what is the true meaning of the end of the world. I think a lot of the information we find on the web, in newspapers, magazines is very opinionated. I could tell you all day long what I believe but it doesn't make it true. What if all of these things were made up by some prankster that thought it would be funny to scare people? Throw a little bit of facts in the mix and it all becomes this tale spin of emotions. Really look at the whole Y2K thing. Even though asteroids where not going to hit the earth or we weren't being attacked by aliens, it still would of drastically changed our world. I don't really know if I believe everything that has been said about 2012.
Even though I have to admit some of the things being said are a little scary. It kind of freaks me out when I think of what happened to the dinosaurs. Then I start to question myself. What stops it from happening to us? The only thing about it is what can we really do if it is true? I always think about the Serenity prayer that says, “God, grant me the Serenity to accept the things I can not change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference“. This is something that no one but God himself can change, so I need not to worry.

[skipp8904]

i think people just like knowing things in general. we're a curious species and even if we cant do anything to change whether or not the worlds going to end, we want to know when its going to happen and why. all for the sake of just knowing. so if someone comes up with a new idea of how or when the worlds going to end, people want to believe it. maybe that way they can get in those things they wanted to do before they die, and they know how much time they have to do it.

[happy32]

I have to agree with Starnskye only because how can you know exactly how much time you have if all of these predictions never seem to come true. Worrying constantly will actually lessen your life because you are always stressed out. So I say don't worry because you can't prevent it.

Hi All

Hope your having a wonderful day because soon it will be gone for ever. Yes the world will go through a change. A cleanse if you will. Like it has before and no we weren't here for the last one and might not live through this one. Every day is a day closer to it. The more we live our lifes the way we want the faster it will happen. No i'm not talking about the planet X or other life forms. I'm talking about the natural balance of life. It's called the ice age. Just look at the world around us there is so much going on each and every day some of it effects and must if it doesn't. The world is a big place and lots goes on unseen. I'm not talking about the wars, rapes, murders, hungry, homeless, oil spills and the children dieing each day and so many others. I'm talking about the things the world goes through like volcano's, earthquakes, weather changes. Each day so many of us get in our cars and go somewhere whether it be work or play. To the corner store of across town to see a friend. It doesn't matter what day it is or the time there are cars all over the roads driving somewhere. Just wish people would think about what they are doing to the planet our one and only home. We can do so much and we chose to do nothing like we have another 1000 years on the planet. Take transit, ride a bike, walk more. Little things help alot more then you think. Thank you for your time in reading this.

I think George Carlin said it best: "We're no threat to the earth. The Earth could shake us off the face of the planet like a mild case of fleas"!

lol - Erin, I love your sense of humor.

Our society is so superstitious.

I've heard of a couple of ideas that don't involve physical disaster yet could be world-shattering nonetheless.

I do believe that I'm here for a reason and that I am making progress with my life mission/purpose, but I always feel alone and it is this that depresses me and makes me long for home where I'll no longer feel that dark coldness of isolation.

hey here is an idea that might help

Have you heard of meetup.com? They have all sorts of groups that people create. So it's a good way to find people that are compatible with you and that understand you. There are groups for depression, social anxiety, problems like that, and also all sorts of hobbies, bushwalking, whatever. You just go to the site and search. Hope that helps

Here is something that may help you feel better. Write down 5 things you are grateful for. Even if it's as simple as "My bed is comfortable and soft to lie on" or "The cup of coffee I had tasted yummy and I liked how it was hot and fresh" eg.
It really has a good effect on you.

Another idea: Go to youtube and watch a video of a smiling, laughing baby! I think it is impossible for your mood not to be lifted..and as your mood lifts and you feel better, your mind might become more clear and your purpose will come to you.

ARE you alone and in lack of connection?

Maybe you could write down: Reasons why I am not alone and have connection:

You could write, for example, some people in the world are thinking about me right now, therefore someone is connected with me. (There are some lovely people in the world that pray for EVERY individual in the world each day. Did you know, you could be in someone's thoughts right now as they are praying for you to be well and happy on the other side of the world!!) Also, other people, social workers, philantrophists, etc, are wondering how to help people like you. So you are not alone. You are in other peoples thoughts.

Also, what about animals? Could you go out to a dog park? No doubt some dog will run up to you, happy to see you, and say "hi!" in dog language! That's a real connection.

You could always go out to a shop or the library and say to the people working there "Hows your day been had a busy day?" Most people love this. People get all tense at work and want to talk about how they're feeling and they want to connect with the customers to cheer them up.

Another reason why you are not alone: You have YOU! You are a human being just like everyone else! You are, in a way, two people. You can give yourself a hug, but when you give yourself a hug, you are being two people in your mind at the same time. The caring, loving person hugging you (your arms and hands and a part of your mind) And the part of you receiving the hug (The part of your mind that's feeling down and wants to cuddle)

You can talk to your self. Say "I love you and I'm always here for you. Always" etc.

~peace and best wishes

I agree, it was really well said to. I think people just like to freak themselves out and get excited by the drama.

[alexplatups]

The Mayans simply knew that there is no world, and they figured that 2012
is probably a good time to let the folks that are living in an illusion know
about this...lol

They were just nice folks that like to joke around, sacrifice people, and more
or less hang out in the jungle. They had a good relationship with the aliens,
and I am sure made a lot of hybrid people by letting the aliens mate with
their females, maybe as a bribe for the Pyramids the aliens built for them.

It's good that there are all kinds of things that are created by someone to
keep people in fear, and busy chasing their tail.
