yesterday was supposed to be the end of the world.. but fortunately, we are all here.. we are still able to enjoy sunday mornings with our coffee and snuggled on the couch with our most precious person next to us. we still have our family, we still have life.
i was asked what would happen if the world ended. kinda silly to ask since no one knows.. it just stops, or does it..? what if life does stop..? does the universe cease to exist..? does the human race cease to exist..?
i thought about a bit yesterday.. the whole improbability of the end as was predicted.. amazing how the mind itself works.. many have beliefs that the world, as we know it, was created by some omnipotent 'being' residing on high in the heavens above us.. he has many names and many faces.. but, my thoughts boil down to one person who believes, according to his accurate, celestial calculations, all was going to stop, cease and shut down on this one particular day; even went so far as to say which hour..
alas, we are still here.. still breathing, still eating, still alive and well.. hmm, kinda makes you wonder what's in his water..? most of the time when i can't explain something in everyday life (namely someone's actions), i say it must be in their water.. in his case, i think his water is spiked with its fair share of eucharist wine or something a bit more (maybe something you see on the shelf behind the bar at the local cantina).. or.. he's dug up a few peyote cactus and.... nah, do religious relics such as this man really do things like that..??
but, what if all has ended and we don't know it or we are still in denial..? sounds bit like a plot from some bizarre sci-fi story turned motion picture.. how will the story line proceed..? how do we find out it is all just a farce..? even cooler, who would play you..? i don't think i would want to know the answer to that last question.. but, if there was someone to play me, wouldn't that mean we are still here..??
all of this talk of the world ending, all the mass-hysteria which is supposed to ensue and just not seeing your most precious person ever, why would someone wish to foretell such an ending to all mankind..? what kind of unbalanced individual does such a thing..? on the lighter side, doesn't he know he's not going to be famous..? who's gonna read the papers or watch the news with the blaring, bold headlines, "END OF THE WORLD PREDICTED BY.." as the old saying goes, "all things come to an end".. but, if we're not here, who cares..?
