THE END OF THE WORLD

I should have know when I read the title "Apocalypse How", that it would be too much even for me. "Apocalypse? - How??" I couldn't take it seriously. Not only because all the scientists involved in this documentary were all from the same country (- which wouldn't necessarily equal a broad view on things), but also because I've done research about the ways they presented humanity could end, and I know a bit more about it than what they let you in on here, and my conclusion is that this documentary is just fear propaganda, i.e. not very helpful, nor insightful. The constant repeat of the word "eventually" made me, eventually, laugh. Because putting fear in people with what may or may not happen in 60 000 years is pretty funny.

Of course some apocalypse will happen eventually. But nevertheless, an apocalypse doesn't necessarily mean the end of the world, even if it's what the word would indicate, the dictionary even suggests it could mean "revelation". It could mean "change", and people would have to change. Our way of life would have to change, and sooner rather than later. People would die yes, and people would have to fight for survival, but hey, isn't that something we're already doing? Yes, yes it is. See the only difference would be the way we try to stay alive, and that's just evolution - whether it's a sociological, ecological or biological one.

There are so many ways the world could "end". Let's stop and look at that briefly. Not by watching this   documentary that only scares and - to a certain degree - misleads people, but let's look at what we already know, and what's going on around us in this moment. Let's speculate how things could be. How would we want things to be? Consider how this planet as the celestial body it is, actually works. Keep that in mind, and then continue speculating. If you don't know how this planet works, but only know how the human society works, then do some research, learn about your home planet. Learn about all the other beings living here. Because you have to understand, this planet is home to so much more than humans, and it has super vast areas of land and oceans where we haven't built societies, and we never will, because we can't, and that's a good thing, because we don't own this planet. We only live here.

Please learn about your home planet, you will feel so much better afterwards, believe me. You will feel more in tune and connected because suddenly you have a wider understanding for your surroundings.

Don't be scared or worried about the eventual "end of the world". Instead, be scared and worried about how you're living your life when you take into consideration how your home is actually evolving.

Yes, things are changing. Certain things have passed, and more things will pass, and leave space for us to build something new and better. That's all I see, I hope you do too. And, as soon as you tune in with the planet, you will know what that "new and better" means, it probably won't be what you first thought. And maybe something will happen in the future which will make our planet uninhabitable to us humans, we just don't know at the moment, we just know a lot of could:s.

Scientists have done an amazing job figuring things out about our world, but all they can do is tell you what they've discovered. It's then up to you what to do with that knowledge. And apart from what they teach you, you in turn have things to teach the world. You have responsibilities just like everyone else. JUST like everyone else. (Think about that the next time you do.. Well, anything! Anything from quickly contemplating whether or not to toss that candy wrap in the street, to smoking a cigarette in someone's face or scaring a helpless and funny-looking animal)

Make time to connect with your legacy, you will discover it's worth saving, and honestly, why should anyone even have to tell you that, right? You already know. It's okay to feel like you don't belong here, or don't want to be here, but let that disconnection create compassion for someone else's world then, instead of creating neglect. Because even if it's not important to you, that doesn't mean it's not important to someone else.
