Hmmm….so the mystery concerned is did early man put a date on what has been a fairly common fear of the termination of our existence…for as long as we‘ve been here? Or did they just get bored of keeping time and called it quits at 2012? [lol!]
And….why would this be of any bother now….seeing that we have been doing a pretty good job of destroying the only decent place to live…[thus far] for quite some time now. Do we blame this callousness of our condition on our pursuit of the “freewill” that was given so generously to us? Or when the going gets rough…and we get too fearful and anxiety strewn…do we shake our fists at the almighty for an easy out? I would care to bet the latter!
I feel it’s a pretty good chance that we could destroy ourselves and this small rock if we didn‘t consciously make an effort for change…so why do we need some date to tell us that? Fairly easy prediction that!
What bothers me most though…and what is far more important than “future dates“… is what are we doing with ourselves this very moment? Are we treating each other as we should…attempting to make peace with one another…loving like there will be no tomorrow? Capturing each golden moment of life as if it would be our last breath? After all…if we are not in this present moment anyway…living our lives in “conscious being”…what would tomorrow mean anyway? Just another day to worry more about the future?
O.K….if we even had an exact date…what that be enough to change our lives for the better? Or would we just greedily, unconsciously attempt to save our own skin; to stave off the inevitable?
Since death is as certain as life…why do we fear it? Why do we need a “date” on a certain terminal condition in all of us?
And…if we harbor some sort of belief in a spiritual eternity…what would our death be anyway…but freedom’s door to evermore.
If this is in fact our spiritual reality…by realizing/knowing we may soon be in another plane of existence by catastrophic events…do we celebrate our bliss and love with others now? Let them know of our love and sooth their worried minds by teaching them to cherish each second of life we have left with love for one another?
Just a few thoughts that came to mind when I read this…
Peace and love to you all…please don’t worry about "dates" and things of this nature. It’s just not worth the trouble anymore. I don't feel it's what is most important anyway.
