2012.. The last year?
by Sean on Jan.04, 2012, under Daily Life
Welcome to the world of 2012, the year some claim will be the last year for the planet Earth. I have mixed feelings about this. I don’t believe for one second the world will end, but let’s look at it from another angle. IF you believe the world will end in 11 months and 18 days, then you might actually try to live each moment and cherish the time you have remaining. That way, when the end finally comes on 12/21/12, then you won’t have regret in your heart. If fear of regretting what you failed to try doing (not succeed, because let’s get real, it’s not a fear of trying, it’s a fear of succeeding that stops people dead in their tracks) got people to actually do stuff, then I wish everyone lived in fear for every second they had breath entering and leaving their lungs. It’d be the only way the human race would continue to evolve.
On the other hand, if people believe the world is coming to an end, then I believe it might promote the opposite effect: anarchy and laziness. If I thought I was going to die at the end of this year, and knew no matter what I did (just slight of building a rocket and escaping the planet, which presents a whole slew of ridiculous obstacles to discuss) would have no effect, then why shouldn’t I just spend all my money, kill tons of people, and act out every other desire or fantasy that I had (no worries, I have no desire to kill people.. maybe just give them the death stare).
In closing, why the F!@# do people listen to the media (i.e. who the hell died and made the Mayans in charge of OUR destiny?)
PS – Taking you back to reality, I’m having deviated septum surgery tomorrow, January 4th, 2012. I’ve elected to have this surgery so that I may regain the ability to breathe out of my left nostril. I will be out of commission for roughly a week, so any warm-hearted wishes would be appreciated! Calls are preferred over Facebook messages. If you don’t know my number, it’s because I don’t want you to call me
I think 2011 left a bad taste in the world’s mouth, so it’s time to turn our shitty frowns upside down and smile a bit more. The world needs people to be happy and loving again, so stop worrying about your financial issues, or your broken hand, or your broken heart. Open your eyes wide, take a deep breath of (hopefully clean) air into your lungs, SMILE, and LIVE YOUR LIFE.
