The end of the world? It's soooo "last year"!, by Agie


For this new article I chose to talk about the so-called « end of the world ».

 


Today (the day I am writing) we are on December 20th  (ok, I must admit it took quite a long time to publish! Mrs P.) and if we rely on the Apocalypse rumours, it could be my last day and more precisely the last day of the humankind's existence. 

According to the rumours, most of the time based on the Mayan calendar, the end of the world is expected tomorrow on December 21th 2012.

Moreover the film “2012” (published in 2009 and produced by Roland Emmerich) has multiplied the fear of  the Earth's destruction.
However that's not the first time that something like this is planed; it was also expected for example during the transition to the year 2000... but apparently it didn't happen!

Other theories or I should say other interpretations were spread all around the world: the end of a cycle, a pole-switch, the beginning of a new era or also a zombie attack (especially in the United-States).

 
 

 
Otherwise there are some places which would be spared and where you could be protected from the apocalypse. Among them we can find the mountain of Bugarach (a village in northern France). Moreover every access to this presumed refugewere blocked since the Wednesday before "the end".

 

Anyway, if you believe in it or not, the businesses won't have lost everything: it enabled them to sell every kind of survival kit.  

From my point of view, the end of the world won't happen, rather not yet. And even if it happens, so what? We won't be there anymore to realize. Moreover I think it's just useless to hide in a bunker to survive or whatever. And all this apocalyptic movement was probably only a commercial aim.

 

Now, if you're scared (and even if you aren't) the only thing to do is waiting till we see if something happens or  better living as nothing was expected. Let's see on Saturday if we're still alive.

  4. Don't be so unpleasant "Onche-Onche".
    My article wasn't complete and if you're "exhausted" as you said, don't pay attention and don't take the time to post a comment.

  6. I find your article interesting. The end of the world is a stupid myth. If people keep food in security(for them) and there is the end of the world, they will not can eat their food because they will die before.

  9. The Mayan calendar never said it's a end of the world, just their calendar was finished.
