Yes, the world is ending. All will be lost. All people will die!

Eventually, that is. And the world really isn't ending, it's just constantly changing. So why do such apparently silly notions creep into the consciousness of society? Where does all the fear originate (aside from marketing ads for water and movies)? Could it be that we citizens love the excitement and drama of grand ol' end of the world tale? This sort of event not only gives those feeling bored a sense of purpose and destination, but also keeps an obsessive mind occupied.

The more positive angle about such a scenario is that it foreshadows the end of our current problems as a whole. Many issues would be solved by eliminating the bulk of the erroneous garbage that plagues our beliefs and ideologies with a global catastrophe. However, like the struggling man who wins 12 million dollars, he will create a struggle soon again (only now with more access). Problems are manifested from a deeper psychosis, and our drive to create a fear based end of the world scenario is often only a mechanism for a troubled mind to find a way out. However, like all problems, relief ultimately lies within.
