well thts quite an interesting topic. anyone would love to jump in the discussion, just like me...yeah...
well to begin with, just to tell you one thing..of course & no doubt our ancestors & forefathers were more intelligent & kinda inventive types, who gave things of modern day science, technology, philosophy, horoscop & para normal things. people of that time really wanted to know things before hand...how could nostrdamus have told us things of our time otherwise?.
like us they never ever had the privilage for health & hygine, with poor mortality rate, & epidemics. Thus this fueled a quest in their kindered soul to know how things gonna move in near future. so that way if you see, their calender cycle ends at 21/12/09, not the calender itself. one can say that after that they have predicted a destruction of some kind. I too don't know if that means mass extinction. I think it's more related to some big changes in the world order.
In the hindsight, it is very easy to get the message now that our mankind gonna be in big soup in years to come. with recession, global warming, poverty, H1-N1, price rise, civil wars, global terrorism, nuclear assests, obama & osama kinda things. certainly one doesn't know how close we are towards the end.
also the 21st decmber brings the end of longest & darkest night of the year. so it itself stands for beginning (of new day).
Again, after this the period of capricorn comes in picture. that same sign ruled by planet Saturn which stands for discipline, learning, destruction & reconstruction. so some changes are for sure gonna happen. Saturn never leaves things unattended, so some order has to be restored. hope it's not related to any catastrophic disasters.
well just now i heard some unbelievable thing on TV....it's like..london is facing floods, turkey heavy snowfall & australia is facing forest ablazing....so this way, slowly things are happening to reveal themselves..troubling equally...
so i think, the end might be not be that near, yet we as humans has intiated the process.
Remember we are the single species on this mother earth claiming & viciously consuming the whole of resources.
still individually we all have wisdom to cheer life & enjoy it to the fullest. at the end, change is the law. if it's gonna be..don't bother....change is always welcome.
all the very best for your coming B'day...LOL...
