Doom

Is it the state of the economy, or the speed with which technology is evolving that has doom sayers so enthralled with what could happen to humanity, and the planet? I could be wrong, but it seems like too much thinking along these lines could be a bad thing. From what you hear every day it seems like there is enough depression, drought, famine, homelessness, and natural disasters to occupy us, we wouldn't have time to be looking for other catastrophes to befall us.

The number of television series, Movies that have already been out, and others coming out, about what could happen after disaster strikes, should anyone survive, is somewhat frightening. Then when I over hear television programs that my husband, who loves science, the universe, history, and subjects along these lines, talk about what will happen after people are gone, volcanoes erupt, earthquakes snuff out life, or huge asteroids obliterate the Earth, I tend to get impatient with the naysayers of the world who keep beating this subject to death.

I say, if it happens it happens, its not like there is anything even the greatest, most powerful world leaders, or scientists can do to prevent it. But I personally think I don't want to know about it, or have some prophet tell me its coming, as long as it is beyond our control. Life itself can hold enough problems, and minor catastrophes to keep us occupied, so I say live it as best as you can, and when, or if the decision is taken out of our hands, then so be it. In the mean time, I will continue to do what I do at my little spot in the country.
