The “end” phenomena

Why is man attracted to the unknown?  Why is man strongly drawn into fear?

I have never seen such long queues only to see the fictional movie of the end of days: “2012″.  Its like everybody would love to see the world end!  Such strong hypes for the movie, such strong urge to see it, such strong need to educate oneself.

Its not such a surprise to actually see these things happen.  Why?  Because the things shown in the movie are all nature disasters.  Its not the end of the world, as I see it.  I see man trying to flee the natural course of the earth and the entire Universe.  I see man desperately trying to survive.

The movie was subtitled: “We were warned“.  True.  How far along?  As early as possible.  Then what?  Fear?

Fear not.  There are two things that come about the unknown.  Fear or Act.  I believe we should act upon it.  How?  There are a lot of ways.  Fleeing is not one of them.  If the Universe should take its course that way, then so be it.  I believe that everything happens for a reason.. even our own existence is a reason for everybody else in this world.  What each would do contributes to the entire fate of mankind.  Every bit of good and every bit of evil.

A bit of a flashback

Ondoy (26 September 2009) and the series of typhoons hit the Philippines a couple of weeks ago.  It served us all a catastrophe that most of us will never forget.  Were we warned?  Yes.  What did most of us do?  Fear or Act? more…
