we wanted to post a message about something we said in another thread.. it still feels like 2012 sometimes

well: their is a reason

Possible trigger:

during 2012, we were really looking forward to the world ending- we didn't just believe it, we wanted it to happen.

and on the day we got all set for it to end (unplugged all our stuff, said goodbyes to people), and it never ended.

we felt so depressed about it

not sure we ever quite got over that.. 4 years later and we're kinda angry at the world for not ending

[elevatedsoul]

i was too

for me its 2006 for some reason, not sure why... maybe thats the year i met my ex...

I never took all that stuff seriously. maybe its because I look at all the hype world going to end reports differently then most.

I look at my family and friends and children and pets and everything I do enjoy. then I think do I want, I mean seriously deep in my heart, want these people to be gone. Do I really Really wish those I loved to die in the most horrific ways that would result in the world ending slowly or fast. the answer is no, I want my children to grow up into adults with lives of their own. I want my dogs and cats to continue to enjoy running, playing, and everything else they do. I want my best friend to continue being able to knit and crochet for the homeless. I want to continue to row by canoe around all the great lakes here in NY. I want to be able to take my children to disney world...

my point is yes I have my depressive lets let the world end moments but deep down I know I dont want it to happen. dying is a final non answer to problems.

then I got to thinking back then what if the world had ended in such a way as to cause pain, starvation, droughts, before it actually fizzled out. (there is documentation that planets do not always go out with a big bang) more times then not it can take many years for planets to become supernova's or dark cold, no sun reaching through the ozone or worse the heat waves and disasters from depleted ozone. do I really really deep down want everyone and everything that I do love on this planet to go through that kind of slow death? no

another thing I thought about back this is what would the world be like without places like psych central. if the world begins to end whats most likely the first thing to go...electricity, cell reception, tv reception, the internet.... try going for days to weeks with out even booting up a computer, turning on a cell phone or watching my favorite tv shows.

then i got to thinking about how we already have the technology to see other planets, space travel, seismic activity and so much more. so it really isnt going to be a big bang the world be gone like predicted in all these hyped up articles. the world will know in plenty of time maybe even years ahead of time if an asteroid is headed our way to do something about it, the world is going to know way ahead of time maybe even years ahead of time if earths core is heating up and going supernova. theres even people keeping an eye on and studying our sun so earth people are going to know years ahead of time if the sun decides to give its final heat wave and fizzle out.

my point logically there is so much more that can now be done then back in the times that these predictions were done by who ever. so I dont bother buying into all the "world is going to end " hype.

besides... if and and those I know truly want to die, we dont need the world to end in order to do that.

just my views.

i was just expecting life to get better... but things get worse, as usual...
i've had many paradigm shifts since 2000... cant handle another...

just want everyone to be happy

[finding_my_way]

i remember new years 1999 when they said the world would end, Y2K, etc. i fully expected the world to explode or that there would be a black hole that would suck the world away or something.

i have a complete opposite problem though where i (and parts of me) fear the world ending, loss, death, etc. uncertainty is terrifying..knowing things will just one day end is terrifying....and i/we don't want to be left alone (again) in those kinds of situations...cuz there is also the fear that everyone else will be gone except for us...not sure why.

some things just stick with us, i guess, for whatever reason.

just my views.

so I have to ask..

are you of the view that the world won't end, at least in our time anyway?

I look at the reports about the world ending and think.. well, they have to get this from somewhere- and let's face it, anything can happen at anytime

an giant asteroid could end it all tomorrow. no one really knows.

my views are that when it comes to these world's end theories, they should always be taken seriously because you just don't know

everything has a beginning, middle and ending. Yes an asteroid can barrel towards any planets including earth but if you ever watch the NASA channel or keep up on NASA website and other science channels and science websites you will find that america and other countries have many different ways of watching what is going on out in space. they discovered that it takes many many light years (like in the millions) for the asteroids to reach even a close fly by earth, a close fly by is like trillions of miles outside earths atmosphere. if they can spot asteroids that far away and track their trojectories, we are not going to get caught by the seat of our pants one night or morning with omg an asteriod is inside our atmosphere and we are going to die bam dead.

not to mention the fact that we have missiles that have all kinds of warheads, if an asteroids trajectory shows its going to hit earth those missiles are going to be shot off to blast those asteroids. my opinion we have more to worry about with wars on earth and whether or not our various countries are going to nuke us then we do of the world ending.

I just dont let those kinds of things send me to anxiety and dissociation and all that. for me there are more important things to worry about then whether Im going to get hit by an asteroid that may or may not come flying in one day out of the blue. if I worried about that then I might as well cower in my home and worry about whether the airplane passing over head is going to crash into my home or if an air planes port a potty business is going to land on my head if I walk out my door. or oh gosh dont walk down the side walk that building may suddenly one day come tumbling down or dont cross the street an unexpected car might suddenly decide to hit me... omg dont take my kids to school and day care the world might end and I will never see them again, ok kids and wife we are not leaving this house, if we do we can get hit by lightening, an asteroid, a meteor, a car a falling tree.......

see what I mean I can scare myself to death with all the things on earth and out there in space or I can say you know theres more to life then waiting for something to drop out of space on top of me. I go about my life and leave the worrying about the world ending to the great scientists, and astronauts that are using all the great technology at their hands and are doing a great job already of tracking space junk, space objects, stars and planets.

the point of my post above was that its just not worth my time and energy to cause myself to dissociate, and panic\ anxiety over such things. if I really want to die I wouldnt pin my hopes for death on an asteroid or the world ending. I would instead do it myself and be done with it. to me waiting around for an asteroid or the end of the world tells me that I really dont want to die. otherwise I wouldnt be waiting for something that may or may not happen for millions of years in the future.
