If you only got one word to describe the most earthshattering, the most dangerous, the most dire, the most threatening thing to mankind...what one word would you choose?


Two words: The end.

The fact that life on Earth will end one day. It's lasted for billions of years or 6000 (depending on your age of Earth view) but one day the Earth itself will be destroyed and everything on it and pretty much every trace of its existence will be completely wiped out.

It will be particularly sad if life never gets of this rock, in that case the tale of Earth will be lost forever with not a single being in the universe even aware of its existence.

I was having those exact thoughts, only yesterday. It was sad for me to think that all the art, all the music, everything that has ever been created on earth will no longer exist.

Life is but a fleeting thing...

I marvel at how magnificent we truly are, and never realized about ourselves. OTOH, are we nothing more than a destructive virus on the earth? If that is true, we cannot help our human condition. We consume, we poop, we destroy. BUT, we also build, create, adapt, and are extremely sophisticated and advanced.

What a thing to think about, tho.

A shame that people's life's work will only be enjoyed by humans for a limited amount of time...then all will be lost.

I enjoyed my time here on earth, I hope doom for mankind isn't just around the corner. But, the more I read GLP and related things, the more I learn how tenuous this life really is.

But really, my heart does break for humanity. We tried, but the odds were always against us.
