" Comment : The World is coming to an END "

" With all the political situations around the world, one certainly would think that something catastrophic is going to happen.

We should not be worried about this too much and should carry on with life. There is no point in getting worried about something that we aren't sure of. "

" The world is coming to an end! but of course, eventually!
What is being perceived as the world here? Is it humanity, or the physical world itself? Regardless, each will destroy the other, I guess... earthquakes, fires, ice masses melting....etc

our own favoured contribution to the mass destruction of the world - pollution, wars.. the list goes on..
however, if it is just humanity that will perish, I have great hope.... the next generation of creatures that will rule the world will possess far more intelligence than us.. and... if we do not destroy the world now, with our intelligence, heck, the next kind will do it! "

" By the looks of the current situation of the world, one only feel that there might be some truth about the world ending soon.

But I certainly do not think so. Prophecies might predict. But ultimately Man has the innate nature to survive and it is this desire to survive that will ensure survival of Mankind. "

" Sad to say but I do feel that the world is coming to an end soon...according to prophecies and all...the last living population will be found in a place where five rivers meet (either in India or China).

Everywhere, every moment there is some kind of disaster (either man-made or natural) taking place in a big scale when compared to how it was years ago...and with the development of chemical warfare and nuclear weapons i can only forsee a deadly third world war which can put an end to this world...

" Just like there is an end to everything,I guess the world should also end one day.The question is simply, WHEN?! The topic seems to imply that the World's end is near!

I do wonder n have overheard others saying that the new millenium will see world's destruction.I merely shrug those off in a way to reassure myself that the world's end could not be so near. But looking at the means with which the world is functioning now, it does put across the message that destruction is not far away.

We see forceful and violence means with which nations try to solve problems....we see civil wars fought to protect factions of society...we see the unpredictability of nations' progress which could all be destroyed in the light of financial downturn.....These are not all!

Moral values,preservation of heritage, cultural values are all seemingly fast disappearing in this modern society of ours.The Seven Sins appropriately describe today's mankind. Thus, with such a situation prevailing in today's kaliyug,it seems unavoidable to have thoughts abt the world's end! "

" I do feel that the world is approaching an end. As far as predictions are concerned , it will be in the next millinium. But then again , there were predictions of the world coming to an end , first in 1996 and then it was said 1998. Nothing happened.

However , looking at the way things are happening, it would not be wrong to expect destruction. Lifes are being lost in the hundreds and in the thousands. Lost because of neglect , because of the forces of nature , lost because of inhumanity ,lost because of countless reasons.

Nothing is permanent. Life especially. And who is to say that the Life of the world is any different.
Lastly , I do feel that when the end comes , it will not be in the middle of chaos. It will be when there is apparent peace.
But live not expecting the worst. Live expecting the best you make out of all you have. "
