The World is Coming to an End..

but, I don't mind. I, for years have been plagued by the idea that the world will be destroyed within our life time or at least in our grandchildren's lifetime. Yeah, a bit out there, or is it? Consider global warming, viral threats, nuclear threats and the threat of an astroid/meteror tearing the world apart. There's many possible endings here. But let us consider the latter. We, or rather our solar system, goes through a cycle of getting nailed by these things every tens or hundreds of thousands of years. And when I'm talking "nailed by these things" I'm talkging about the giant fuckers, like the one that hit Saturn and left a crater the size of Earth a few years back. So, yeah, the cycle. Sientists say that we are like a hundred years off from the begining of this cycle, but how can they be that exact? They can't. (They only know of an approximate time line based on dating the craters of the Earth and the dating method is not that precise.) This is what they are told to tell us. The fact is that we have already begun to drift into the line of fire of the cataclysmic Earth destroyers and NASA knows it. I've always said that as soon as the government puts an unprecedented amount of money into space exploration, we're doomed. Guess what? It's happening. We are trying to live on Mars within the next 50yrs. Why Mars? Well, there are many reasons, but my theory is that it's a good staging point to deflect one of these projectiles. So hooray for us, there may be hope.

But, back to my point- I don't mind either way. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see the human race go on and progress and evolve, but everything has it's end[our lives] which is exactly why I can no longer waist my time worrying about things that will never be in my control. On Easter I spent some time talking with my uncle and he said to me "Life is hell...I only see the world's problems..". This got me to thinking. I too see the world's problems and have allowed myself to be deeply perplexed by them. I realize that if I don't watch it I will one day share my uncle's view of this world. I can not allow this and therefore surrender to the fact that this world is doomed and take comfort in the fact that I will do my part in whatever small way to postpone the inevitable. If life hands you a lemon- make lemonade, but before you do, squeeze a little juice into a wound just to remind you it can ALWAYS get worse.
