Another new year just got underway. On the midnight of Saturday, January 1, fireworks exploded, loud music filled the speakers, night parties were held, and midnight dinners filled family tables. What a way to kick off 2012. But along with the anticipation comes the uncertainty of the future.
Eschatologists have been interpreting the possibility that the world would end on December 21, ranging from the spiritually transformative to the apocalyptic. The Mayan belief is undoubtedly the most widely accepted among common believers, but for the scientists it is all a matter of scientific nonsense. If you were waiting for the end of the world to come, better not accept it. After all, life goes on as usual. If you live life in fear and concern, better stand up and be positive. And if you were willing to take care of the earth, it is possible that our lives will be saved from further destruction.
So we reached a new year. Hope it all goes well for us. And, please, never fear, because as Franklin Roosevelt said, 'The only thing to fear is fear itself.'
