About The End of the World 2012: 2012: The End of the World? - Society - Social Issues


Lately we are obsessed by the controversial topic related to the year 2012. When I was a little child in the early 80's, I remember that my great-grandfather told me about some prophecies of a Roman Prophet Sibyl that the world would finish by the year 2000 and that the Chinese power would raise in the world. Well fortunately not big deal happened but what has happened that China is becoming a new super-power.
Some people say that the year 2012 would be the end of our world, some say it's only the end of this era, the others talk about a human transformation into more spiritual human beings. We hear and have many hypothesis and many people underestimate this topic, while the others think that something is going on. Two weeks ago I saw an interesting documentary from National Geographic about Nostradamus Prophecies for 2012; my opinion about him is - either we like it or not: he really hit the target and was quite accurate in so many times - it's amazing how someone almost 5 centuries ago knew about WWI, WWII, Hitler, Communism, 9/11, Hurricane Katrina and so on. So instead of being so skeptical, we'd better learn something from this and get ready for what's coming; the only problem is that the prophecies were coded into metaphors and not always well interpreted. From my point of view Nostradamus didn't write his prophecies to scare us, but to make us conscious about are actions and how to avoid the unnecessary outcomes.
