Call it the Rapture or an Apocalypse, the Mayans predicted hundreds of years ago that the world, as we know it, will come to an end on December 21, 2012 or the winter solstice of 2012. Seemingly unnatural "natural" calamities stand as evidence: earthquakes, floods, and storms that occur out of season. Even the stars have changed their alignment, I think, since there is a new zodiac sign.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to frighten or sadden anybody. I'm not even trying to force anybody to believe in this "End of The World" Theory if they absolutely do not believe in it.
I don't believe that the world will absolutely come to an end exactly on the winter solstice of 2012. However, based on current environmental calamities and phenomena, I believe in the possibility of the Mayan prophecy/prediction.
I see people panic at the mere thought of the world coming to an end sooner than they expected, and I feel a twinge of being sorry for them. The lesson that can be picked up from this "end of the world" thing is that the present is more important - living in and making the most out of the present - than wondering what will happen in the future.
Now is the best time to make the most out of life. Think of it, if the world were to end soon, then we better live our lives to the fullest so that when we reach the end, we'll know that we lived a fulfilling life. No "what if" or "should have."
So when the end comes, you'll embrace it, knowing you made the most out of this life.
