The telephone lines
are bound to be down, and electricity is a doubt; so calling loved ones is not
an option. And if we are faced with the END, wouldn’t you want to make sure
that your messages are expressed to the people important to you? It would also
be the best time to talk it out, sort out differences and leave with closure. But
most of all, we need to be prepared. Not in the way like charge your batteries,
fortify your catastrophe cellar and backup your energy with canned foods. More
like be prepared for the fall, and brace yourself in case it might just happen.
I, for example, am
hoping to get an iota of the action and be a part of the survival, just so that
I have something adventurous to say about my life when I grow old. To be a part
of history, (if life exists after it), and make a heroic bibliography. Nothing
big, maybe a flood or earthquake, whatever fate deems fit. When I voice out
this agenda, my mom says it’s better to be a part and die than to stay and have
one or both legs taken away or my eyesight blocked for eternity. That makes sense.
And there’s no point in fasting and praying that it does not end. Because if it
is meant to be, it will be.
Renewal is a part of
life. We see it in nature, when the snakes shed; we see the forests burnt down
to give better growth. So why can’t earth do something for herself after all
those years of destruction we’ve caused it. It’s almost similar to formatting
the PC. Sorry for the comparison; and it is pretty sure that life will begin
again, and when we see ourselves in comparison with the entire universe, our
life is not even molecular. Even after seeing the bigger picture behind the
predictions, man is man himself and does not pause to think about nature. Bank
statements, new customer policies, product launches and movie openings are
arranged and decked for another year ahead. So why should nature pause to think
about us, the greedy pigs?
The point I’m trying
to bring home is that, the end or not, brace yourself for it. Say goodbyes,
take a moment to look through the materials and stick by your loved ones on the
destined day. The grand finale inches closer and even though it might not happen
it’s good to say we’ve lived in that time, signed our name and moved on into
the future.
