Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Is "2012 Doomsday Or A New Beginning" For The Human Race

By Axel Foster

The world is in a state of chaos right now. People have lost their jobs, friends, and even their lives. This continues to go on as depressions and wars begin to become a daily part of society. People are wondering where the human race is heading. We could be heading towards our demise or to our sanity. We fight and kill but we want it all to stop. We won't though, for it is human nature. Are we heading towards doomsday at a rampant speed? Many have begun to hold onto the belief that the world is going to end on the year 2012. Is "2012 doomsday or a new beginning" for the world? Are we going to all die or will we drop our old beliefs and embrace one another and live out our lives as a race for an eternity?

Is the dawn of man coming to it's dusk? What is going to happen to us when the new year comes around? Are we doomed to non-existence? Where do the beliefs of what is going to happen differ?

The 2012 debate is not a young one at all. People have been speculating what is going to happen since the bronze age. The Maya were the ones to originally come up with a belief of what is going to happen. Not too long after did Nostradamus come up with a similar theory. These people got their assumptions from a variety of things including the stars and from using forms of divination. Do these really hold any water, you ask? Not particular would be your answer.

The number on belief is that we are all going to be doomed for our actions against nature or to a God. We are all doomed to die and there is no changing our fate. It could be a death from us just vanishing into thin air or a launch of every nation's nuclear arsenal. Whatever the reason, the belief is that we are going to be no more.

The other belief is that it will be a death of human thought. What I mean is that human beings will begin life a new with a change in the way we think. It will be as if something happens to make us all think in some peculiar way. It would be an enlightenment of sorts for all beings on Earth.

Another belief that holds a lot of water is that nothing will happen. Maybe all of these people have been blowing smoke to scare everyone. It is a great way to get movies and books produced. If people are worried they will want to know more. So, this could just be a ploy for people's greed.

Yes, 2012 has caused a lot of hype. Movies have been produced and hundreds of books have been made. All of them revolve around 2012. It is amazing to try and sift through the large array of texts and try and find anything with any factual information. Simply because there hardly is any. Here is very little evidence that anything will happen on 2012 that will end the human race. There is an actual scientific fact proof a few things possibly happening though. One of these things include a large solar flare that could knock out all of the Earth's satellites that will occur on that year. The Maya believed that a meteor would strike the Earth and they spent their whole life as a civilization looking at the stars. Nothing is ever certain though.

That is most of what it is all about. So is 2012 doomsday or a new beginning? We don't know for certain. We will when the year comes around though.
