out-do yourself

2012 - The Apocalypse
End of the world? Or jus a myth?
There is many debates over this issue, which side are you on?

For me, I believe that this whole "end of the world" is jus crap.
Even NASA believe that there is nothing special regarding the date 12 December 2012.

I have jus watched a documentary on 2012 this morning on History.
Prophet Nostradamus was a great man I must say.
A man with wits and wisdom.
But does that mean that his prediction will be true?
For start, many prophets predicted dates for the return of christ.
But none of them got it right.
Human make mistakes.
We should base the truth on facts and calculations instead.
And not believing something jus because many others think the same way.
God gave mankind brain for a reason.
I am not here to convince everyone that 2012 is not true.
But, more important, to convince everyone to think for yourself.

Of course we cannot rule out the possibility of disasters created by man.
Some country may decide to nuke the whole world, maybe?
But at least it will not be a chain of natural disasters so significant to wipe out Earth.
Again, these factors have no direct relation with the specific date in 2012.
I mean, it can occur anytime right?

I seriously hate the movie 2012.
It is exaggerating the issue when there are no real concrete evidences at all.
And this convinces more people to buy the story.
Perhaps all Hollywood films are like this.
But I felt strongly for this one.
And I will NEVER watch it.

However, this issue is not entirely bad.
A little scare is good once in a while.
Does the world really give a damn about environmental issues?
What about peace? Iraq war, anybody?
And all of a sudden people are rushing to mend these dire situations.
Why? Influence from the possibility of a major apocalypse of course.
To some extent, the scare does influence society as a whole, in a good way.

But, I will like to ask:
Will people continue their effort after 12 December 2012?
Will we learn our lesson?
Onli time will tell.
