 good joke
 Yeah
This is what scares me. With people in complete denial of the possiblity how can we hope to over come the obsticles. Civilizations with more power than ours have collapsed. We are not immune or invulnerable.

I'm not that pessimistic. I don't see that at all. I wish I could feel that way Boo. I do not think it's too late for us to get back on track but the time is rapidly approaching. I'm not one to subscribe to ancient predictions and such but I just can't help hoping all the predictions for 2012 aren't actually there and pointing to the colapse of the world economy. The possible timing isn't that far off. Hi Davey I guess I am just an optimistic person, but I really do not feel dooms day is coming. And I am pretty sensitive to things coming around, and feel it, but I just don't feel it. What predictions are you referring to out of curiosity? There are numerous predictions from ancient sources, the maya's are a big one their date is pretty absolute and predicts a total change in the worlds makeup. But there are many other predictions from other cultures that point to the year 2012 as being very significant. I don't really believe in such stuff but it's hard to help thinking about it. Well I do agree it's hard not to think about it, especially when people in this situation become paniced and or just plain fearful. I worry that people collectively make things worse by acting out when they don't really know what is going on. I am fearful but I still try to take positive actions and work as though everything was going to work out. If it does I want to be on top  if it doesn't want to be on top too though

We are not immune or invulnerable. I don't think anyone is in complete denial, but I would prefer people focus on what is and what can be done even in small ways, rather than people spewing all sorts of things they can't prove or that really do nothing to help solve anything. We can't always control the government but we damn well can control our immdiate surroundings, what we say, what we do about any giving circumstance. I live in a small town hit with a lot of factory closings, and it's amazing to see how people deal with that here. And they do deal with it much better than I see in the news or on Mingle it seems. |

Agreed however what happens if we do nothing or change nothing. That is what's happening. If things change we have all the hope in the world. |

Well actually according to the mayans it's a Beginning rather than an ending but it suggests it will be a violent change. And it's the entire world not just western civilization. |

I am a firm believer that it is smaller towns and smaller businesses that will survive the best. I've just always wanted to do better than just survive. That possiblity may be taken from us by a government that is out of control. |

The ancient Romans would agree completely. |

The ancient Romans would agree completely. So would the Egyptian and the Mayans. It is the cycle of time of which you speak.

Personally I think we are going through some normal and spiritual growing pains. As for the economy we are learning as individuals that there are limits. I don't see that as a bad thing. In fact we should have been teaching the last generation about limits and spending habits. Some times we learn the hard way and we are learning the hard way, but it still is what we make it, no? I refuse to be pessimistic, at least for myself, I accomplish nothing when I am in that state of mind. Kinda like when my house is cluttered, my mind is cluttered. If I want to change I make it happen and if I can't seem to I will get information to help me with it, I keep going, keep moving in a positive direction. I don't want to be part of the problem, see where I am going? Of am I not making any sense.. Could be, I'm tired.. LOL |

 What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: "This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more" ....... Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus?Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: "You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine"--Nietzsche

Individuals have to change and that change can be catching. One person started a garden in my niegbhorhood, and now even those that weren't going to, are doing the same. |
