2012

Long ago, dating back as far as the Mayan empire, there have been numbers of eschatological beliefs and prediction of when the world we have known to live will end.  Although many predictions have failed and yet some still remain a possibility, a phenomenon called 2012 predicted by the Mayan empire (dating back thousands of years) stated the world will end on December 21^st 2012.  Despite many predictions failing including the Y2K bug incident happening 12 years ago, 2012 remains a popular predictions where there are actual series of calculations to conclude that today is when the world will end.  But what drives people to believe and up bring such an eschatological prediction that dates back hundreds of years? Technology was nowhere near at its zenith in advancements.   There was barely any evidence to back up the hypothesis that world is ending  excluding the fact the Mayan calendar ran out of space.   Why should we believe in a phenomenon that is bought up so well today? My fellow readers, this is when imaginative landscape comes in.

Many believe on the 21^st December 2012, that the world will end.  One suggestion that drives people to believe this is because of the psychological landscape which is adopted by many other landscapes including the scientific landscapes.  Although the predictors of this eschatological day never used science to aid in calculating their prediction, many scientific events trigger our psychological landscape.  Solar flares, earthquakes and natural disasters are the few events that trigger these landscapes, but also our increase our beliefs that the world is bound to end.  I was also able to gather some research on the Mayans and 2012 and guess what?  The Mayan calendar used to predict 2012 does not cease to exist on the 21^st December 2012!    

That day was the day I sat on the couch where I gazed and scanned like a vulture upon the news for anything relevant to the world’s final stand.  But I’ll tell you something.  It is like staring at a blank piece of paper and it turns out the world is still in one piece.  But who knows, the Mayans lived in a time that is un doubtfully different from ours; there may be a miscalculation or something minor error.  This entry was written the day after the world was ‘supposed’ to end.   To conclude this entry, I would like you all to remember that day and that IF the world were to end sometime in the future, I would urge you all to live your life to the fullest.
