Judgement day, rapture day, Y2K.
14 years ago
One of the things that mankind may never be capable of escapeing, is his own imprisonment of the mind. Death has been "foreseen, predicted, invented," and worst of all, there are many different acceptances of a form of "judgement day."
Why we all are so eager to convince ourselves, as well as others, of some sort of end of days? Why can't we concive some sort of conclusion from the past instead of the future, a future than cannot be concived or calculated?
From the past we conclude several things. That there will allways be stuggles for power, there will allways be testiments to lives as well as life, that time is the only thing unescapable, and that all of it will be predictable in the future. Diesise, cure. War, treaties. Disaster, and relife. Its all the same. All of it consistant and all being capable of, if not predictable, then calculated.
Life will not end in one stroke of an hour, its to diligent, to desperat, and unbending. While there are cause of concern about how it might change, thats all that will happen. It will change, not give up without so much a whimper. It would rather alter, mutate, and become the next best thing to adapt. Rather than become snuffed out without a flicker.
With this said, anouther thing that may never change, human devotment to the ideal of its end of its existance. Since the begining of the biblical age of which every clock on earth is set to, every calander that has been establish, and the mere fabric of which our time has been woven from, humanity has proclaimed a day of death that will sweep the planet like darkness sweeps light from the sky at night.
Weather for religiouse purposes to convert, a weathered old man without his mind, or those who wishes to change political parties to their own benifit, I bealive it is nothing more than a delusion. Nothing more than an invention of mankind to sway those around them. Short of threatening that of anouther human being, its the best way to scare someone into action. And now after so many "little bo peep who cried sheep", I have begun to think that nothing beyond an astronomical event, could cause the end of the world, the end of days, or the day of judgement.
Can mankind die someday? Oh yes, we can all be wiped from the face of earth easily. Mankind, while resiliant against a huge variant of dieses's, can easily destroy itself with necular weapons. It can even die from huge and fast acting climate changes. And even if we was to somehow survive much longer than the next predicted "end of days", from war or otherwise, we would find the very sun that gives us life will one day burn itself out.
That in itself is a fact as with the others that have been observed from afar. Hydrogen runs out, the surface of the sun will expand, and the earth itself will be cooked to a dead planet. Nothing more than rock, iron, and dust.
So while some expect a sweeping hand of a religiouse figure wipeing out those on earth, I don't. Too much of mankind has altered the religiouse parts of this world for me to ever bealive that there will be an "end of days" scenario. However I do bealive earth itself is allready doomed. Not because Im trying to predict the future, but because time has allready proven this correct. And all it will take is time.
