there are many diff views of this date: some predict the end of the world, some predict an enlightment, some predict total devastation, and still even some predict that the only thing that will change is the way that we live.
now, these are alot of opinions, alot of incertainities. i dont take a side on any of them. if anything, all we can do is wait in the end.
its a hard issue for some ppl, if u want my personal opinion then PM me, but there are many many different opinions.
hope this helps some. best of luck to everyone.
