Well, ok...there has never been a shortage of people predicting the end of the world as we know it, from the guy with a sandwich board on the street corner, to Nostradamus-type wannabees, like this one here:



...who basically maintains that the world will be uninhabitable by 2014....

...my question is, if we assume for a moment that the world WILL end within 6 years, how would you spend the last 6 years of your life on earth. What would you do, what would you change, and when would you quit your job, sell the house, and go on a long holiday on the proceeds...??.....

?????...confused dancing

Hey, you lookin`like yo escaped into the Andes ... up there in the clouds? .... Nice photo!

Down here, if the world was definitely gonna end in 6 years time ... Well, I still would not believe anyone saying things like that.......

I knew a family once, who believed the End Was NIgh! ... They sold their lovely house, all their luxury mod-cons, let the kids totally wreck their bicycles - bought a tiny little caravan and camped out waiting for the End. The husband even went so far as to have a Last Fling. Well the world did not end. They had spent all their money. Could never again afford to buy a property. The last I saw of them ... they both looked quite haggard and miserable, trying to make a living and getting on with life as best they could. I think they also changed their religion ... the last one was Wrong!cool grin

Me? .. I live every day like its my last one!!!!drink pouring buddies smoking batting jackolantern listen to music bouquet

Sanskrit Proverb

Look to this day
For it is life
The very life of life.
In its brief course lie all
The realities and verities of existence,
The bliss of growth,
The splendor of action,
The glory of power --

For yesterday is but a dream,
And tomorrow is only a vision,
But today, well-lived,
Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day.



Someday I'll have to leave anyway!

Nope,can't claim that Distinction!:)
Came across it some 35 years ago,as I changed some of my Life around.
For some reason it stuck.
Probably because I am trying to live some of its philosophy.conversing wave
