End of the World? Get a Grip already :D

the sky is falling the sky is falling... oh wait, that's rain...

I didn't know that the Earth was destroyed and remade many times before the 2k bug happened. I'm just glad that we were part of the transformation of the world even if we ourselves didn't notice it Amen to this discussion and I salute your efforts to make people see how easily they believe such tall tales. It's okay to believe if one wants to believe but just don't spread rumors about it and make others panic, right? I hope people focus more for the betterment of each and every community we are in and for the betterment of the world we live in

I have been hearing prophecies about the end of the world all my life and the date keeps changing! I cannot say that there is not going to be an end to the world as it is because I have no way of knowing it and for that reason I put the question at the back of my mind and focus on living my life now. You’re right; living a good existence with integrity and compassion is the way to go. Worrying about dying and the world ending is futile and will only take life’s joy away in the present.

Well you right above something, people do tend to predict the end of the world, but still where here. But actually we where just all victim. Victim of the film industry. As you can see, main everytime there is a craze about the end of the world, there is always a film related to that. It is because film makers are grabbing the opportunities, that their film about end of the world would be interesting to film viewer. So if you are telling the general public to take a GRIP, as you say it, you should leave alone them because they don't care. It's a hot topic for a while, but after the an apocalyptic movie was shown, I bet you it will also be gone. Go protest on the film maker if you think you are sick enough of the END OF DAYS SCARE.. But I think they won't listen to you, it is because they are earning 100 of millions from it. lol :) peace men!!

Scientists have always come out with some sort of stats showing us that becz of water or changes in tha natural calamity the world is gona get over by 2010,but i dont think any such thing is gona happen so soon.Yes we have harmed the enviroment a lot ans have to be ready to take its toll in near future but definately not 2012,i don;t believe in it

Is it possible that the world will be destroyed due to some power and the world will be end

Very nice post. I think you are right about those end of the world scenario. Even during the biblical times there are parts that tell about armageddon and many things about the end of the world. Now even in the modern times there are things that still persist in us being human. Because we know that somehow our life would end so we always see that our world is also has its end. We should acknowledge that there will indeed be a time for that one and when that time arrives we just need to be ready facing the end.

LetranKnight25, I just cannot help feeling what Rae Foley once said regarding these people: “I always feel sorry for people who think more about a rainy day ahead than sunshine today.” I simply do not really care a hoot of what is being said as I feel that we already have enough to work on and care about every each day that there's no need to bother about tomorrow. If we cannot even take care of today's people and events then we can forget whatever is tomorrow or the day after next or years ahead.

amen to that Letran. great discussion. Its about time someone said stop complaining and bit#hing about things. Its now time to live while we are alive instead of just existing and whining over things that were predicted e very ten years since I was born. Why not use that energy to do something positive to save our world. We could work on pollution of our air and our waterways too. Also you are so right most of us complain all the time of what we do not have,instead of being grateful for what we do have. I have met people from other countries who just gush with excitement over all the things we have like variety of food items in our US grocery stores. And here we are taking it all so forgranted and thinking everyone has the same advantages. But they do not so its up to us to be thankful and grateful for what we really do have.And we should all of us be ready to help each other.Where i grew up in south Dakota you just did not drive off and leave a person with a car that did not work stranded on the highways. we all stopped to help anyone in trouble as we expected that same help in return. for one thing in that state towns are few and far between. In the winter one could die if their car stalled on a highway during snowy weather and they did not get help. we just did not drive on by like they do here in California.

I don't believe to anything or trying to conclude something only by one view if you ever heard about the end of the world before you are right there were all just a tale-talk but 2012 this is different it may not be the end of the world but the end of many lives it maybe a little sarcastic but it should be done

hello Letran, You have written good explanations here my dear brother. Yah,why afraid of the end,but not afraid of sinning. The word "forever" will be forever,but everything will come to an end. And living each day like it is your last day will you give you courage to live without fear of dying,or fear of the end of this humankind. No one knows when and how the world will gonna end. One thing i am sure of,it will be the time of judgement. We are given our freewill to choose between good and evil,between life eternal and hell. The long suffering of God give us the chance to repent and do good things in order to gain life eternal. Have a good day my dear brother

I don't know much about End of the world thingy. But we have to live up to our lifetime, and do whatever we can to be memorable and no regret during our lifetime. So, why don't we enjoy our lives a little bit before this so - called end of the world.

when my brother or my father talks about that, my mom will tell them to stop talking about it and instead, do good things and have faith to God. there has been a lot of stories telling about the end of the world even before the latest 2012. i remember seeing on news that there is a sect of Christian here before the year 2000. there was this news that the world is going to end so they built an arch boat like in the bible that will save the members of their church. there was also a group, i don't know if this is the same as the first group. they say that there will be darkness and that only the candles that are blessed by their church will give light. for me, when that day comes, we will all die. what we should do is to face what we have right now and make a better world. mother earth has been abused so disasters show. we should restore our nature so we can still enjoy it's beauty while we are still given by God the chance to wake up and enjoy His creations.

honestly, i don't really care about the end of the world thing. i believe that such exaggeration in stories is fiction and is not to come. the whole sudden burst of the world with aliens coming to destroy earth is nonsensical. if such is yet to come, so be it. for now, i would like to live my life to the fullest with my family and friends.. and i still believe that if we think positive, then positive outcome, it will be.. so let's just think that scenario is never going to happen as we pray and trust to our Dear God.

To be honest I don't think that this kind of conversation will ever end, especially now since so many people seem to talk and worry about it. I just close my ears to it al now, I do not like to think about it, I like to think about my life as I have it at the moment with my children. I can't help but feel that to think and worry about the world ending, only makes us feel exhausted and worried and stressed out all the time, and really we should be enjoying our life. At the end of the day whatever happens will happen so what is the point in worrying about it.
