I've been a little depressed lately (I know, so what's new?) but this time it's not because of anything going on in my life. It really feels like we are either near the end of times, or that the earth is going through a major overhaul, and possibly billions of people and animals will perish. The recent years of soaring record-setting temperatures, the wildfires, the floodings... it makes me think that we now have 7 billion people on earth, and anytime you have a system that gets too big, it will ultimately crash. I am sure there is a name for that, but I can't think of it right now.
Well, it seems like we are due to crash at any time now. Maybe the Mayans predicted this in 2012. Not that the "Rapture" will be upon us, but that the earth will undergo a major change. Much like the "Black Death" that began in 1348, which claimed the lives of approximately 100 million people. It is feasible that these new conditions on earth will breed new kinds of viruses and bacteria and it's not hard to imagine what the outcome of that will be.
And lets not leave out a mention of the current state of politics. It really seems like there is a battle between good and evil now, fighting for control. There is no more civility in our culture. People are downright rude and crude about it. It makes me just want to turn off the tv and radio and retreat into my own world, and never venture out anymore. It all seems so hopeless. I feel like giving away most of what I own and hunkering down in the basement to await my fate, whatever that may be.
