Arrow What do you think about my views on apocalypse?

I posted a single article about apocalypse and wonder what would be the reactions of people who read it. I wrote this one when someone scared us about the nearing end of the world in an online group. This is my sort of response to him.

You can read it here APOCALYPSE.

Please feel free to post your own views.

As long as people have been preaching, they have been preaching about the end.

If it is going to happen, there is nothing we can do to stop it, so any time spent on the topic is counterproductive.

the code I Live by is to Focus on living the best possible life, and learn how to help one another.

One is better served to avoid the pontification of "the end"

Yep, all you can do is your best.

Those of a high understanding may help prepare for it, though.

Anyone who spends all their time worrying about it one day might find they've wasted a lot of time.

I think it will happen kinda like the 100th monkey phenomena, once a critical mass is reached it will be spontaneous for the rest.

I've let my ego consume me for so long, the second I get lax, it can still grab me and take me for a ride. But, I do believe I'm close to a major breakthrough. I am affecting people around me and spreading the word and it seems like people are starting to come to me. Pretty cool.

As a person without Belief in a personal God who exacts revenge on mankind, I didn't get much out of it. A little on the fear-mongering side perhaps.

I think you didn't see entirely the point of the article. I hope you would read it with deeper understanding and be open-minded with the ideas pointed out.
