People jump to conclusions.
A fair and simple statement. And a very factual one. One hypothetical situation would be an older gentleman dating a much younger woman. What is the first thought that MOST everybody thinks? She’s in it for the money. Now, we don’t know the facts and probably never will, but because we see this situation as strange and far from being normal we immediately assume she is in it for money. If you really think about it, we as people seem to have negativity ingrained in our brains because we seemingly always assume the worst. This is no different in looking at the disaster that struck Japan.
The highest recorded earthquake hit the island and now everybody was going into panic about the world coming to an end. But why now? The world ending soon, which for some ridiculous reason people think is going to happen 12/21/2012, is an easy explanation as to why it happened. People are saying ‘its not like its all coming to an end and going to happen that day, its got to build up to it!’. Man get outta here. I’ve lived for close to 23 years now and the one thing Ive noticed is that life is NOT an action movie. It’d be convenient for an earthquake to happen, that leads to a super tsunami, which leads to a nuclear explosion, which would lead to a car chase scene, and then to a bank robbery, then a comet hitting the earth out of nowhere, and finally CLIMAXING at 12/21/2012!! The end of the world is quite a climax!! Shit doesn’t work like that in our world, remember everybody? Life’s an unpredictable bitch. Since when could we figure out anything happening on a precise date?? We cant even figure out when exactly a baby will be born, let alone how long to keep a hotpocket in the microwave! (Microwave for 130-2 minutes, let stand for 3-4 minutes. Not precise.) When the man on the weather channel can tell me weather with 100% accuracy for a week, maybe then I will take certain other predictions seriously.
Nostradamus predicted alot of things correctly, so it seems. He ‘predicted’ some fire in London, he ‘predicted’ Hitler and World War 2, and he also ‘predicted’ the assassination of JFK. For those of you not familiar with Mr. Damus, check him out, we are in the computer age you can find him. The Lord blesses many people with gifts, and i believe that Nostradamus was blessed with an incredible amount of luck. He wasn’t ever spot on with his ‘predictions’ but he was always close. But honestly i can predict something RIGHT NOW that i GUARANTEE will happen!! Maybe not now, maybe not in ten years, maybe not in mine or your life time, but it’ll happen. Life has a funny way working things out because life itself is UNPREDICTABLE! People read into things, like these predictions waaaaay too deeply. Sometimes we dig so deep we make something out of completely nothing.
So, 2012 is our extinction date because a dead man predicted it? Bullshit. And for those of you thinking about the Mayans and their prediction of 2012, stop thinking. Their calendar ended on that day, but it doesn’t mean anything. Its just a coincidence, maybe even less than a coincidence. Our calendars end in December before we have to buy another one, does that mean our world is ending this year? Haha, a bullshit example, but you get it.The Mayans c.ouldn’t predict how they’d end though, huh? Crazy. Maybe their calendar was a couple hundred years off cuz I’m pretty sure they are wiped out now
Let me end with this. Humanity has made a big deal about the world ending many times during my 22 years of existence. Remember September 9th 1999? Oh, you don’t? The world was supposed to end because our SUPER HIGH TECH computers would go crazy and not understand the 9’s in their system and shut down and send off missiles and whatnot. Im sure i woke up September 10th amazed at how beautiful our Apocalyptic world looked. Who doesn’t remember the Jan 1st year 2000? Oh yeah, we were definitely supposed to all die that day. I bet there was a collective sigh of relief when we all watched 1201 squeak by on our watches one minute into our new year.
Why are we so eager to die? To figure out when we expire. Honestly i’d rather not know the day. When it happens it’ll happen. Just live life, because its way too complicated already with us NOT knowing when we are going to die. Think of how scary it is for a deathrow inmate. Knowing the day of your death, counting it down to the second. It’ll make you crazy. So stop counting down to 2012, because i already see the affects of the year fucking some of you guys over!
Check these verses out. For you people who are unreligous take it as you will
1 Thessalonians 5:2-4 (NIV) for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night 3 While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4 But you, brothers are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.
Matthew 24:43-44 (NIV) “But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him
Sometimes you just can’t put a date on things
