Day 29 - 2012


Day 29.

Question.
Do you believe the 2012 Mayan/Nostradamus prophecy?

What is the 2012 phenomenon, anyway? Well, here's what Wikipedia has to say..

The 2012 phenomenon comprises a range of eschatological beliefs that cataclysmic or transformative events will occur on December 21, 2012. This date is regarded as the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. Various astronomical alignments and numerological formulae related to this date have been proposed.

To those who do believe in the prophecy, I totally respect your opinion/beliefs. My stand? No. Come December 21, 2012, the world would end? Pshh! Crap. I really think that people are just being paranoid.

I know that the Mayan Calendar ends on that said date.. but it will start over again after the 21st. It's just a cycle.. a calendar. Just like our very own calendar.. it is on a 12-month cycle and it just repeats itself indefinitely. I think this whole idea of the 2012 phenomenon was blown out of proportion because of fear and paranoia.

Though, I can totally understand if some people think and act that way. With everything that has happened in the past few months.. tsunamis, earthquakes, etc.. one couldn't help but feel afraid. But come on, why should you be afraid? Shesh!

Here's my point.

Why should you be afraid of that date.. 12-21-2012.. when you may die tomorrow? Life is too short.. and it is a borrowed gift from God. One could never tell how, where and WHEN you're going to die. Then why should you be afraid of dying on that said date, when you could be having your last breath while washing the dishes, or while watching TV or while taking a nap? Yeah, it sounds kinda silly.. but it's true. No one knows when our last days will be.. so here's a thought. Live LIFE today. Do something worthwhile with your life so that someday, the next generation will have something to remember you by. Your legacy. Stop being too paranoid about the future and live today.

What are your views about this? It's totally okay if you disagree with me. These are my thoughts about the 2012 prophecy. And yours are....?

  2. sapol na sapol leah. ang gandang ng buhay para magisip ng mga bagay na ikakatakot mo or ikakabahala ng iba. Bakit di natin pagusapan na lang ang kung bakit kumikislap ang iyong mga mata at ang tamis ng iyong mga ngiti para pasayahin ang nalulungkot. Tao lang ang gumawa ng ng mga bagay na di maganda at walang katuturan.

  4. As for me, isa ang aking paninwala patungkol sa katapusan ng mundo.

    That no one knows when the end of this world will come. Not even the angels in heaven knows of it. Only the Father knows when the end of the world will come.

  13. Never in my mind, until you mentioned it now. At ayokong maniwala, kasi ang dami ko pang plano sa future no... yung magkaroon ng 8 children, yung maging milyonarya, yung makauwi sa pinas every pasko, yung manood ng Lea Salonga concert na naka front row seats, etc... kaya ayoko pang mag end ang world.

    Btw, thanks sa comments mo sa blog ko... ang saya mo talaga mag comment. :-D oy, ang bedroom ko sa bahay namin sa Bacolod, lavender and yellow ang motif ng accents (accents lang, kasi ang walls puti... gusto ng nanay ko kasi puti, kaya puti kasi bahay niya at pera nya), tapos yung curtains may shades of green. O di ba, bagay kayo ng room ko. ;-D

  14. may mga friends ako'ng mayan at tinanong ko yan. walang katotohanan na magugunaw ang mundo sa 2012

  15. Ako naniniwala ako. End of the world na next year. :) Kaya super I'm doing my best na everyday, making sure walang araw ang nasasayang, do my best sa work, and try to super enjoy naman sa mga ibang non related work activities.

    Napanood ko kasi yung 2012 tas pinanood ko next yung The Bucket List.

    Never been so much happier after that... :)

    Bottom line: There's something paradoxical about the concept of End and death that's empowering and scary at the same time.

  17. the news that the world would end in 2012 didn't terrified me. I know it would end but who knows when? I think no one. Like you, I just want to live each day to the fullest.

  19. Hi Ms.Leah.. ako naman I choose not to believe.. kase.. I dunno.. parang ano ba..tinatakot lang ng tao ang sarili nila sa mga bagay na hindi naman sigurado... wasting time.. at agree na agree ako sa mga huling sinabi mo... na araw araw pwede maging end na ng life natin... dapat mabuhay tayo to the fullest everyday...which i'm not doing so far.

  20. hindi ako naniniwala jan, fiction lang yan ng isang pilikula.. mahaba haba pa ang lalakbayin ng mundo.. at walang tao na pinahintulotan ni god na malaman niya ang katapusan ng mundo.. hello leah! hehe

  21. I stand to what I believe that no one knows the end of the world. pero ung mga nangyayari sa ngayon, the calamity, tragedy, war...it is written at the Bible pero hindi binanggit kung anong DATE ang sinasabing end of the world.. let us just have faith to God and keep on praying!

  22. Nicely said! The world ends for each and every person when they die. People died in the past, they'll die in the future, that's their 'ending'.

    :)

  23. I can't say yes, can't say no. Only God knows. and praying is what we can do. :)
