As world events seem to spiral out of control, I've noticed the end of the world talk start up again. Everyone's becoming fixated on Dec 21, 2012: the date the Mayan calendar supposedly said the world would end. I suppose that wars in the Middle East (there's war in the Middle East? Shocking), dead animals, and massive Japanese earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disasters will make people a little jumpy.
I guess things will only get worse as late 2012 gets closer. There will be books written, cable tv (especially the History Channel) will do their apocalypse conspiracy shows, and people will be taken advantage of with "pay your way into Heaven" scams. The entire world will freak out. I won't be freaking out, though. I'm still worrying about swine flu, bird flu, Y2K, Haley's comet, and every other sign that the world's going to end. I've had people tell me that the world was going to end in 2006 after their deadline of 2000 passed.
People have thought that the Anti-Christ was going to walk the Earth since pretty much right when Christianity became a major religion. In the 1800s, people thought it was Nepoleon. In the 1940s, it was Hitler. If you talk to some people today, President Obama is the Anti-Christ. He will be the 2nd one this century, after President George W. Bush.
It's going to be everybody's end of the world sometime. If you honestly think that next year the world will end, then don't pay your taxes. Save the money and live it up. I wouldn't worry so much. The world will keep turning. Make the most of this life while you have it. Besides, once the Mayan deadline passes, there'll be another one.
