END OF THE WORLD: Why worried?

Hi there! Welcome to my thread! Here we can discuss our own mortality.

Why are so many people worried about the end of the world coming, while setting various dates both near and far?

Isn't everyone going to die? Isn't that the end of the world for you? Won't it bring you to the end of the world (judgment day) if there is one?

What is the concern then if it is tommorow, or today, or in a few hours, or in a century. You may die in a moment, and then it will be right there!

If you're so concerned about the end of the world, why not live life well, treat people with love and respect, say your prayers, worship God, give charity, help people out? At least maybe if you're called to account, you'll have done something more than just sit and be afraid of an eventual date.

It doesn't matter if its 2011, 2012, 2016, 2021, 2022, or any date, because you could die before then anyway!

If you're concerned about death, then find ways to survive, and live in such a way that you would be proud to survive, and proud if you died.

If you're concerned about Judgment day from God, then perform good deeds, ask for forgiveness regularly, worship God and ask that he protects and saves you, help people, help the poor and the needy, show love to your families.

What are you worried about?

I'm afraid of death too in many ways, I'm afraid I haven't done enough good, and I'm afraid of living in a world that is full of injustice, where there is no freedom, personal rights, safety, or privacy. That isn't the "end" of the world though, and it not having an "end" may be what makes it so terrible.

So call and contact your representatives immediately and repeatedly to tell them to reverse all the things headed in that direction such as surveillance and invasive security measures and whatever else. The end isn't the problem!

If you leave fear behind....You can change the world....kudos

Here's a video I saw that seems rather doomsy!

Once I leave fear behind, do you have any more suggestions of what one can do?

"There is nothing to fear but fear itself"

Bonus=who said this?

Like my uncle always said - "If you live there was nothing to worry about and if you die you'll have nothing to worry about, so there's nothing to worry about."

Most people are setting these dates not because they are worried, but for the opposite reason - they NEED something to happen, even if it is "the end of the world". Few are truly happy and could stand the current status quo.

It is more of an interesting thought provoking hobby. Ever read a book called Earth Under Fire by Dr. Paul LaViolette? Check it out!

~ OMG! Actually, I knew that you two would hit it off! I'm not surprised. Well said, OP! =)

I think most people here are just worried that it wont come soon enough. LOL.

Well it is one of the best thought provoking "modern" non-fiction book out there.

Multiple choice now..

a) Kennedy b) Roosevelt c) Obama

well, "it is appointed once unto man to die"


but it would be really really cool to witness the tribulation


IMHO, that is, but then again I fear not the end of the world
